This sculpture is a portrayal of passage—a slender, weightless branch that has moved through hardship and now stands above it. The rocky base, adorned with spherical forms, represents life’s burdens, yet the branch flows over them with grace. The bell at its end rings not to halt, but to awaken—a sound that signals the moment one realizes the only real obstacle is the one within.
