"I Thought We Had More Time" is a striking sculpture that weaves a narrative of temporal fragility and potential through its form. The piece features a mirror-polished egg, gracefully suspended above a steel base, embodying a sense of ephemeral beauty. This egg, with its mirror surface, acts as a symbol of genesis and possibility, while its delicate balance over the base captures the fleeting nature of existence.
The subtle interplay between the egg's fragility and the steel's enduring strength creates a visual and conceptual juxtaposition. This artwork invites viewers to reflect on the transient yet impactful moments of life, much like in a contemplative gallery setting. The sculpture's title, "I Thought We Had More Time," enhances this theme, speaking to the universal human experience of grappling with the relentless passage of time.
The making process behind this sculpture began with hand sketches to conceptualize the form. It was then modeled in a virtual reality sculpting program to create a 3D rendering. The files were sent to a fabrication studio where the piece was constructed out of steel over the course of 3 months. Through both physical and digital methods of creation, the artist shaped this visually striking work that contemplates ephemerality and potential.
