This sculpture captures an intimate and vulnerable moment, depicting a subject in a deeply personal state with her face obscured. This enhances her vulnerability and makes her appear more naked than merely nude. Unlike typical nude sculptures that celebrate the human form, this piece emphasizes the subject's self-awareness and her inherent vulnerability in a world where clothing often shields us.
The subject's weight rests on her right leg, causing her right hip to rise. She counteracts this by standing on her left tiptoes, pushing her left hip higher. This pose creates a pull and stretch from her left pelvis up through her body, evoking a sensual and controlled sensation. This deliberateness suggests an awareness of her body and possibly of being observed.
The flame is the leit motif, hidden and repeated in every form, symbolizing rising and light, reflecting the complex beauty and poise of women. This upward motion signifies growth and the powerful beauty of allowing oneself to be vulnerable and seen. The sculpture embodies a celebration of existence, urging viewers to embrace their truth and shine brightly.
