ABSENCE

What is missing becomes more present than what remains.

Concept

A solid form is interrupted by an opening. Reflective stainless steel draws light into the void, while the surrounding steel holds its weight and darkness. As the viewer moves, reflection and shadow shift, giving the missing volume a changing presence.

Detail of the reflective steel opening within the dark, weathered metal sculpture, showcasing the interaction between light and void.
