STOP AND FOCUS was first conceived in 2006 as a visceral defence against a world in flux. A command to the self: halt. Strip away the noise. Find what remains.
What remains is the truth of who you are.
Nineteen years later, the 110cm study has become a 220cm monumental bronze pillar — and the work has only deepened. This is a sculpture about the brutal, necessary act of removing emotion not as a denial of feeling, but as a surgical act of survival. The psychobabble of human struggle — the reckless, messy, magnificent chaos of becoming — must sometimes be silenced for progress to be possible.
The weathered patina is not decoration. It is the record of everything the work has already endured. In its commanding presence on a black granite bed, we find a hard-won peace. Focus is not the absence of feeling. It is what remains when the storm finally subsides.
