Residue
Bonze sculpture
53x36x22cm

Residue explores what remains after touch, after presence, after intention. An organic bronze form rests on a carved wooden surface cut from an enlarged fingerprint. The wood functions as a trace of human contact, while the bronze appears as a condensed remainder of repeated touch.
Rather than depicting an action, the sculpture presents its aftermath. Human presence is reduced to a fragment, embedded in the fingerprint, like ground, while the bronze form continues autonomously, seemingly indifferent to its origin. The work balances intimacy and distance, growth and stillness, suggesting that touch is not an endpoint but the beginning of a slow, breathing process unfolding beyond the scale of the body.
