The Cycle Of Ethereals

In The Cycle of Ethereals, the boundaries between form and dissolution, solidity and dispersion, are exquisitely blurred. This body of work positions sculptural humanoid figures—their surfaces smooth as polished alabaster—at the precipice of transformation, suspended in moments of fragmentation and renewal.

Echoing the material poetry of Antony Gormley’s elemental bodies and the ephemeral choreography found in Olafur Eliasson’s atmospheric installations, these compositions capture the instant where form is no longer fixed, but becoming—where the human shape is still recognizable, yet already transcending its material limits. The insertion of amplified color dispersals, in crimson, cobalt, gold, and white, punctuates the stoic sculptures with moments of dynamic energy—an allusion perhaps to the disintegration of matter into light, reminiscent of Anish Kapoor’s color fields and James Turrell’s dissolving architectures.

But what sets this series apart is its theatrical stillness—the membranes, droplets, and ripples are not in flux, but frozen mid-transition. This aesthetic of suspended becoming invites a contemplation of cycles: of birth and decay, of identity and dissolution, of the physical and the ethereal. It gestures toward ancient myths of transformation while invoking the contemporary digital sublime—the sense that human form itself can be reimagined as both solid and vapor, matter and energy.

In these images, the void is not absence, but potential. The black backgrounds absorb and isolate, turning the figures and their dispersal into cosmic phenomena, drifting between the sculptural and the celestial. This series becomes a meditation on liminality—the space between what is fixed and what is becoming air.
