Rise Désir IV – Terre de Feu explores desire as an instinctive movement outward and upward, a force that seeks to move beyond containment.
The sculpture unfolds into multiple rising gestures, each following its own direction while remaining rooted in a shared base. Deep, flowing lines travel vertically across the surface, emphasizing the sense of ascent and guiding the eye toward the openings above.
Handbuilt in Terre de Feu stoneware, the warm red clay is contrasted by darkened edges that trace the contours of the form. Openings between the rising planes allow light and shadow to become part of the sculpture, revealing changing silhouettes from different viewpoints.
