Pewter and Berries

There’s a quiet lesson here about how we deal with what’s old and enduring. These heavy metal forms remind me of things that survive time, even when their surfaces carry scars. While drawing, I noticed how clearly such objects mirror our own patterns: we hold on to what gives us stability, even when it shows its wear.

The composition reflects a network of roles and tensions. The large vessel feels like a dominant anchor, the smaller one beside it like someone adapting, while the overturned piece points to the moments when something slips out of balance. The berries add a silent counterpoint — something soft next to all that hardness.

The meaning lies in this mix: support, resilience, and the reminder that any structure is only as stable as the way its parts relate to each other. For viewers, it can act as a clear mirror: where am I steady, and where is something tilting — not loudly, but unmistakably.
