Turning Faces

Kinetic Sculpture, Metal, 2024

Identity is never fixed — it shifts, reshapes, and transforms. Turning Faces captures this with rotating metal forms inspired by Barbara Hepworth and Anthony Caro. Viewers can move the sculpture themselves, changing its composition and symbolising how identity is shaped by perspective, time, and experience.

Circular elements suggest cycles of self-discovery, while shadows reveal what’s usually hidden. At its heart, the piece asks: Do we shape who we are, or do outside forces shape us?
