The Build Up

This sculpture captures the weight of emotions that are held inside for too long. The tightly pressed hands and the strained expression show a moment where the mind is overwhelmed, where thoughts, stress, and unspoken feelings begin to build beyond control. It reflects how people often carry everything within themselves, trying to stay composed, until it slowly becomes too much to contain. The hollow space at the back adds to this idea, suggesting an emptiness created by constant holding in, or a release that has already begun. The piece speaks about that breaking point when silence turns into pressure, and what is inside can no longer stay hidden.
