Technique : Mixed media technique using natural wood to sculpt an upright, wing-raised minimal form; incorporating a hanging metal pendant as a ritual or sacrificial symbol. The combination of wood and metal with a clean finish focuses on expressing spirituality, reverence, and transcendence of ego through abstraction.

An upright figure, evoking a bird or a selfless human, with an uplifted wing and a ritual pendant around its neck. *Beyond the Self* captures the moment when one transcends ego in pursuit of a higher cause. A sculpture of humble reverence, luminous sacrifice, and an inner flight beyond motion.
