Ember Torso
painting
Collection name
Ember Bodies
Fire caught inside the grain of the wood
A torso rising from its own fracture
Every facet remembers a blade, a hand, a hesitation
Red is not a color here — it is a temperature
The figure turns away and faces us at once
Carved from a single block over eleven weeks
Exhibited first at the open studio, Lausanne, spring 2025
38 x 32 x 22cm Ember Torso Hand-carved wood, pigmented lacquer on slate base CHF 3,800
