The Beta series explores heightened states of mental activity associated with beta brain waves. Each piece gives form to alertness, internal movement, and cognitive tension, inviting viewers into a state of inner navigation where meaning emerges through repetition, motion, and the search for resolution.
Through this visual restraint, Beta becomes a space where thought is both contained and released.
Beta II represents the restless movement of the mind and the labyrinth of thought. Sculpted from black clay in a serpentine, neuronal structure, the work is hollow, yet it carries the physical weight of anxiety, focus, and mental strain.
Two open ends signify the passage between ideas and the infinite pursuit that extends from question to answer. Rotating elements reflect internal turbulence and a state of constant alertness. With no clear beginning or end, the open spiral form gives shape to repetitive cycles of thought.
Within this state of tension, Beta II signals an awakening. As thoughts find expression through material form, the Beta phase completes its cycle. Mental pressure dissolves, yielding to creative serenity and the peaceful void of Alpha waves.
