Rise

Rise is a hand-forged sculptural object that explores balance, proportion, and verticality through a restrained composition of forged steel. Two ascending forms develop in parallel before resolving into a unified structure, creating a dialogue between separation and connection.

Forged through heat, hammer, and repeated refinement, the steel retains the physical evidence of its making. Textured surfaces, subtle material variations, and precise transitions reflect the inherent qualities of the forging process, ensuring that each piece possesses its own distinct character.

The composition emphasizes rhythm and negative space as much as mass. The paired vertical elements establish a measured sense of movement, while changing light reveals the depth, texture, and spatial relationships within the form. From every viewpoint, the sculpture presents a different balance of openness and solidity.

Finished with a hand-applied hot wax patina, Rise is conceived as a collectible object that brings sculptural presence to contemporary interiors. It reflects an approach to making that values material honesty, disciplined craftsmanship, and enduring form.
