Golden Nest

This piece explores protection and transformation through these cocoon-like forms in gold leaf and mixed media. Each golden vessel contains intricate patterns, like sacred geometry or cellular structures, suggesting something precious incubating within. The deep navy background makes the metallic elements seem to float, their rough, organic edges contrasting with the precise internal patterns. The vertical arrangement and upward-pointing shapes suggest ascension or emergence, while the textured gold surfaces catch light differently as you move, making the pieces seem alive with potential energy.

The three golden forms are holding dreams waiting to emerge. Those geometric patterns inside feel like blueprints for transformation, protected by layers of gold like our deepest aspirations safeguarded by hope. The navy darkness surrounding them is like the unknown we face when pursuing our dreams, but the gold’s richness suggests that what’s developing inside is worth the wait and uncertainty. There’s something sacred about these vessels – like ancient reliquaries holding not physical treasures, but the potential of becoming.
