Emulating the ebb and flow of natural landscapes — the undulation of water and the stratification on rock formations, Catharsis visually interprets the notion of change over time, echoing the everlasting metamorphosis of the natural world, as well as the human experience of body and psyche.
The sculpture's forms twist and turn upon themselves, embodying the internal turmoil often carried within. Its contours represent the relentless, sometimes chaotic, forces of nature and emotion that shape and redefine our inner and outer constructions.
Despite the apparent tension in its twisting shapes, Catharsis also expresses a profound unity and mutual attraction, suggesting that in the complex journey of emotional upheaval, there is a hidden order and interconnectedness.
Through its dynamic composition, the piece captures the essence of purging and cleansing, mirroring the therapeutic process of releasing suppressed emotions. It symbolizes the relief and clarity that follow a powerful release, the solace found in surrendering to the dance of emotional liberation.
