CORE, 2026

Dimensions: 20-inch diameter

Medium: Mixed media (natural crystal, crystal points, glass fragments, resin, sand, mineral pigments, sculptural textural compounds on rigid circular panel).

Core reflects on the silent place where every transformation begins. Created on a circular panel that evokes both a heart and a nucleus, the work symbolizes the inner center from which identity, intuition, and resilience emerge. At its core, a genuine crystal is surrounded by radiating crystal points, suggesting the quiet expansion of energy, awareness, and personal growth. The monochromatic white surface enhances the play of light, inviting contemplation while emphasizing purity, stillness, and the hidden strength that exists beneath the visible surface. Deeply rooted in the artist's lifelong fascination with crystals and mineral formations, Core serves as both a personal tribute and a universal metaphor, reminding us that the search for meaning ultimately leads inward, where our greatest capacity for transformation has always resided.
