Journey of the Soul

My work is mainly motivated by questions about the reasons for living and the complexity of the universe. I believe we all follow an individual path in life to reach our spiritual goal. I see life not only as the journey of the soul but as the assembly of a perpetual spiritual game, which continues past death into multiple reincarnations. The movement is forward and upward; on our way we go through circles, spirals, ups and downs, trying to focus on our goal. I have a special need to indicate the importance and richness of movement within the rigid metal material. The illusion of the victory of energy over matter is employed here too: a bronze figure floating in air; a person climbing a tree or standing on stairs but actually holding them up. Ambition, striving, and aspiration--depicted metaphorically with ropes, ladders, and stairs-are ways of trying to overcome the restrictions of matter to free our soul imprisoned in a physical body. By using springs, I incorporate movement into bronze works and enhance further the emphasis on energy.
