What Life Took to Let Me Remain

The sculpture was created through a slow, physical process reflecting the themes of endurance within the work. A curved plastic mould hand-melted was used to form the vertical structure, which was cast in plaster. The surface was then repeatedly chipped and eroded by hand over many hours, intentionally damaging the structure and created voids and fractures. Fragments that broke away were collected and placed on the lower plinth, reinforcing the idea of survival being built from what has been lost. The final surface records the marks of this labour, embedding time and endurance within the material.
