"Reflection" is a powerful sculpture capturing the essence of contemplation and introspection through the depiction of a young man in a moment of deep thought. The strong physical presence of the man is evident from his muscular back, broad shoulders, and defined posture that exudes strength and resilience.

The man is shown sitting on a rock, a symbol of stability and grounding, further emphasizing his connection to the earth and nature. His forward-bent posture suggests a sense of focus and concentration, as if he is engrossed in his thoughts, considering an important decision.

The positioning of his legs adds a dynamic element to the sculpture, with the right leg extended forwards in a broad and confident gesture, showcasing his physical prowess and determination. The left leg, bent at a sharp angle and placed against the rock, adds a sense of stability and grounding to his stance.

Both of his arms are folded in a protective and self-assured manner, with the right hand clasping the lower left thigh just above the knee. The left hand placed over the right hand symbolizes unity and strength, suggesting a sense of balance and harmony within himself.

His gaze is fixed ahead, indicating a state of reflection and deep contemplation. The intensity and focus in his eyes hint at inner turmoil or the weight of important decisions that he is processing. It invites the viewer to ponder what thoughts or emotions might be running through his mind, sparking a sense of curiosity and connection.

This piece was sculpted in a 10-week life class. This is the original in baked clay and hand-painted in ebony.

The piece is available in bronze resin.
