Sculptures I Never Knew I Made

Sometimes, you take on a project, deliver it, and move on with your life. But a few months ago, I got a Google Alert mentioning me in The Wall Street Journal. It was an article about a home renovation that cost over half a million dollars—nothing unusual so far. But as I kept reading, I was surprised to find they’d highlighted a couple of my sculptures as key elements of the design.

What’s interesting is that the sale happened months before, and I had no idea what the project was about. It’s something that happens to me fairly often. I work with interior designers, architects, and sometimes directly with the client, but once I deliver the pieces and they’re in place, I rarely hear what happens after.

In this particular case, the article said my sculptures were set at the entrance of the house, representing two guardians watching over everyone who comes and goes, and especially protecting the homeowner. I found that fascinating because, while each piece has its own story and meaning, at the end of the day, each person gives it their own interpretation.

That’s what really captivates me about my work. I can pour narrative and symbolism into my designs, but once it leaves my hands, the story is no longer mine. Art and design truly come alive in the way each person sees them, feels them, and makes them their own.
