Suspended in Stillness

“Suspended in Stillness” is a striking donut-shaped sculpture constructed entirely from stainless steel, including each individual butterfly. The piece contrasts industrial permanence with organic movement through layers of clear resin that create a liquid, flowing effect within the circular form. Vibrant chrome gradient sprays transition from deep greens through blues, purples, and hot pinks, polished to mirror-like perfection.

The reflective surface shifts dramatically with light and viewing angle, making the piece feel alive despite its solid steel construction. Butterflies appear frozen mid-flight within the resin, caught between movement and stillness. This work explores how permanent materials can capture fleeting moments, how something as solid as steel can suggest fluidity and transformation. It’s about holding motion in your hands and watching it change every time you walk past.
