Flower

Steel, Concrete, Oil Paint | Height: 10.25 inches (43.2 cm) | Weight: 24 lbs

A delicate contradiction—raw industrial strength shaped into an abstract floral form—Flower challenges perceptions of fragility and endurance. Polished steel plates sandwich a core of concrete, seamlessly filling negative space while adding mass and permanence. The form is both organic and architectural, its half-oval silhouette punctuated by sharp, square edges that create a tension between nature and structure.

Two large steel rods extend downward at an angle, subtly mimicking the stems of a flower. Floral silhouettes are cut through the steel, revealing carved concrete that extrudes beyond the surface, its rough texture enriched with a deep black patina of oil paint. This contrast—between precision-cut steel and the expressive rawness of the concrete—speaks to the beauty found in nature.
