This sculptural piece is an intricate exploration of the elemental concept of three. Delving into the symbolic richness of the number three, it serves as a profound representation of unity and interconnectedness, intricately intertwined with the unfolding journey of our lives. The compressed circular elements in each unit mirrors the cyclical nature of existence in three distinct stages—birth, life, and death—an allegory for the continuous cycle we all traverse.

Each unit in the sculpture serves as a unique yet integral component, combining to encapsulate the emotional essence of a transformative period in my life. The meditative and repetitive approach in assembling these units reflects the contemplative nature of personal evolution and growth.

The intricacies of the work's tapestry draw inspiration from the subconscious act of creating life. As the individual elements come together, the overall form bears a striking resemblance to a human spine. This intentional reference invites viewers to ponder the profound connection between the elemental concept of three and the essence of human existence, subtly weaving the themes of creation, life, and the underlying structure that supports it all.
