Blue Phoenix is a sculpture comprising interlocked aluminum parts coated with a digital print pattern. It was created in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and global conflict, and celebrates life and progress in challenging and unpredictable times. The metal core, which changes in length, rotates in a graceful arc, as if a bird is opening its wings. It is anchored by a flat base which enhances the sense of upward and outward movement. From every angle, the sculpture offers a captivating and evolving visual experience, symbolizing human resilience and endeavor.
