Sculpture
At its core, sculpture is about shaping materials to convey meaning and emotion. It is a process that requires both technical skill and creative vision, as the sculptor must not only understand the properties and limitations of their chosen material but also be able to envision the final form of the artwork before it is fully realized. Through the careful manipulation of form, texture, and space, sculptors can create works that range from realistic representations of people, animals, and objects to abstract explorations of shape, volume, and negative space.
