Lily in the Sun

Titled Lily in the Sun, this sculpture is a masterful fusion of botanical form and sacred architectural design. The piece reimagines the iconic structure of a Gothic rose window through a delicate, symmetrical lens, exploring the shared geometry that underpins both the natural world and spiritual art.

The work is built upon an eight-petaled rosette, its form defined by a commanding black framework of intricate, lace-like tracery. Nestled within these layers, jewel-toned accents of crimson and cobalt blue evoke the rich, vibrant hues of stained glass, while a subtle gold border lends the entire piece a precious, artifact-like quality. The sharp, clean lines and meticulous layering create a profound sense of depth and shadow, giving the sculpture a dynamic and commanding presence.

The title itself speaks to the piece's dual nature: "Lily" for its organic, floral structure, and "Sun" for the rose window's essential function as a conduit for light. As a botanical mandala, Lily in the Sun is a harmonious synthesis of earth and spirit, rendered in precisely layered paper.
