The ‘Bronzed Time’ series captures the traces of time in eternal form by preserving the surface and grain of wood, once touched by life, through casting in bronze. The rough textures and knotted patterns of the wood are records of time shaped by nature, and by embedding them into metal, the artist explores the boundary between finitude and infinity, change and stillness. Moving beyond simple representation, this series invites reflection on the essence of existence and time. It distills the breath of wood into sculptural form, delivering a deep resonance of sensation and memory.
