Description: A tribute to the spirit of questioning — a small figure of doubt, yet upright and resilient. The sculpture’s curved wood echoes a question mark — not one of confusion, but of rooted inquiry. The broken tile at the top suggests a fractured but seeking mind, while the pine cone at the base symbolizes slow, organic growth. The artist honors not fear, but the quiet strength of doubt.
At first glance, In Praise of Doubt appears small and quiet—but every element carries layered meaning. The curved wooden form evokes a question mark—not in a defensive or aggressive stance, but one of poise and contemplation: a mature, thoughtful form of inquiry.
The small tile at the top recalls the intricate walls of Persian architecture, now representing a fragmented, searching mind. The dried pine cone below speaks of the potential for growth—even amidst uncertainty and fragility.
This piece is not about resistance, nor is it about certainty. Instead, it offers a quiet stance: to doubt, to question, and to stay still in the search. The work neither preaches nor answers—it merely whispers: to question is a way of being
