Emerging from the intersection of transformation and illusion, The Alchemist's Mask evokes the beauty of elemental change. Painted in shimmer layers of copper, teal, and oxidized green using fluid pour techniques, the surface captures the moment when metal meets air - when brilliance yields to patina. The mask's sculpted form suggests both flame and metamorphosis, a tribute to the ancient art of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. In this piece, oxidation becomes ornament, and decay becomes design--a meditation on the magic of change itself.
