Fallen Angel
Fallen Angel is a powerful exploration of contrast—the interplay between traditional beauty and perceived ugliness. Through this sculpture, we are reminded that even in brokenness, there is still profound beauty to be found.
The figure, sculpted with elegance and fragility, appears defeated — fallen, fractured, and incomplete. The spikes on her back, remnants of what were once wings, evoke a time of flight, freedom, and grace. Now reduced to stumps, they symbolize loss, yet they also retain a haunting beauty, a testament to what was.
The burnt, rotten texture of the wood stands in sharp contrast to the softness of the female form, creating a tension that invites the viewer to question norms of beauty. The imperfections and decay are not merely flaws; they are integral to the story. They challenge us to see beyond the surface and to find value, even in what seems broken or lost.
Fallen Angel teaches us that life is not just about perfection; it is a tapestry of both good and bad, beautiful and ugly. Together, these elements create a deeper, more complex appreciation of existence.
