Sigil 17 is a three-dimensional wall-mounted abstract sculpture composed of layered plexiglass structures, spherical elements, and a textured base of shattered glass and metallic leaf. Transparent and reflective materials intersect to form a geometric composition that extends outward from a golden, fractured foundation. The piece combines found and salvaged materials to create a complex architectural form with a luminous, industrial elegance.

Shimmering and sharp, delicate yet grounded, Sigil 17 invites viewers into a meditation on memory, resilience, and the unexpected beauty found in what’s been discarded. Layers of plexiglass rise from a gilded, fractured base, intersecting with spheres and geometric forms that echo both urban architecture and sacred symbols.

Crafted from salvaged materials—each with its own quiet history—the piece is a kind of talisman for transformation. It explores what we rebuild from what’s been broken, and how we make meaning from the fragments we carry.

'Plate remembers. Remembers bearing deliciousness, surrounded by laughter and joys of celebration. Now on a sidewalk, in a cardboard box. Free the box said. Free, it did not feel.

Sparkling like diamonds, the shattered window looked up to see the stars, sparkling in the black sky, like itself in the blackness of oil and asphalt.

Once long ago, it was the bones of terrible giants that roamed this earth. Now its fate, to fill the space that once was ocean.'
