THAT’S LIFE - 2023

This sculpture whispers of what often remains unseen in our lives: the roots.

In this art, not only do the roots emerge to light, but they also take center stage. These golden tendrils, which anchor the piece, speak of strength and foundation.

Upon closer gaze, one finds not just thorns and roses, but hands and feet unfurling magically, a gentle reminder that life is crafted step by step, deed by deed — it’s our journey.

Yet, not only the roots wear gold. The thorns embracing this pristine glove shimmer too.

In life, we often guard ourselves against fears, risks, and uncertainties — symbolized by this white glove. But in merely shielding, we risk numbing the touch, missing life’s raw essence, the allure of imperfections.

As one witnesses the purple roses and golden thorns bursting from the white, it becomes evident: our flaws, like our feats, paint our life’s canvas. They, together, cultivate our imperfect yet wondrous garden, our existence.
