The Weight of Yesterday
The Weight of Yesterday (2026) portrays a solitary figure folded inwards, arms wrapped tightly around drawn-up knees. The closed posture suggests a body carrying more than its physical weight, caught between reflection, exhaustion and resilience.
The sculpture considers how experiences linger long afterthey have passed. Memories, responsibilities and emotionalburdens are carried forward, quietly shaping the present.Rather than depicting a single moment of sadness, the workreflects on the accumulation of everyday pressures and theinvisible weight that people continue to carry while movingthrough ordinary life.
Carved from wood, the figure balances vulnerability with quietstrength. Its stillness invites a moment of pause, offering spaceto recognise the emotional experiences that are often hiddenfrom view yet deeply shared.
