"Family Ties”

A Tribute to strong connections that withstand time.

Introducing "Family Ties," a unique piece inspired by neuroscience and the profound, unbreakable bonds within a family. Each family member is depicted as a node in a complex network, reflecting the unique dynamics and cohesion of the family.

A Visual Representation of Familial Connections

This artwork represents the nervous system as a constellation of nodes, with each family member playing a vital role. The abstract portrayal highlights the individuality of each family member, showing how, despite their differences, they originate from the same fundamental material.

Symbolism in Brass

The use of brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, symbolizes the complexity and strength of family relationships. Just as copper, naturally soft, becomes harder and more durable with the addition of zinc, this artwork embodies the soft and hard sides of each person in the family, like Trees, a mother who is both strong and vulnerable.

Visualizing Family Connections

"Family Ties" illustrates the interconnectedness of family members, creating a harmonious blend of form and light. The delicate interplay the light from “the mother” shining on the metal elements, from the children and grandchildren and their shadows on the wall adds a dynamic layer, making the piece come alive in any setting.
