Cast Bronze
64 × 66 × 64 cm
(The Ascetic) An ascetic is one who strips life to its essentials — renouncing comfort, excess, and distraction in pursuit of spiritual clarity, a practice found in Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and Sufi traditions alike. The figure here, folded tightly inward with arms drawn up around the head as if creating a private interior world, gives physical form to that radical act of self-containment: the body becoming its own shelter and sanctuary.
