These beings — winners of the Anna Sand Prize — stand guard between worlds. Long as shadows at sunset, they are woven from bronze and original glass. In their bellies burn amber windows — portals through which you can glimpse their emptiness or fullness, depending on what you seek. Creating them, I thought about how we all are merely frameworks stretched between earth and sky, with little glowing hearts in the middle.

Their heads are crowned not with crowns, but with fragments of their own thoughts. Arms spread in a gesture of simultaneous embrace and crucifixion. These are portraits of modern humanity — elongated, thinned, but still capable of holding light within. The shadows they cast dance on walls, creating an entire theater of ghosts.

In Divot's space these guardians are especially fitting — they understand what it means to be simultaneously predator and prey, consumer and consumed. If you feel kinship with these elongated souls and want to place them as guardians of your space, call me — let's discuss their relocation.
