The Hand of the Artist, 2023

The Hand of the Artist: A technological Reverence to Daphne's Transformation." Echoing the myth of Daphne, the sculpture combines technology and mythology, as it showcases a 3D printed resin sculpture created from a scan of a bronze and rubber cast of the artist's own hand. Thus the hand and branches combine as a symbolic representation of the pursuit of artistic inspiration, mirrored in Daphne's transformation into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's advances and reuniting with Dionysus, unraveling the enigmatic secrets of the Orphic mysteries.
