Description

Crafted from hand-forged and polished stainless steel and silicon bronze with patina on honed black granite, ‘Boxed-In’ depicts a struggle through impediments towards transformation. It also asks the viewer to distinguish between the boundaries we impose on ourselves and the boundaries imposed by others. At once a sarcophagus and a chrysalis, ‘Boxed-In’ is an elegant riddle for a new epoch of human endeavour.

Boxed-In—A Monument to the Power of Personal Growth

“Boxed-In” is a striking surreal narrative sculpture that embodies the journey of personal growth and transformation. This box bronze sculpture portrays the struggle through impediments towards self-improvement, symbolizing the balance between imposed boundaries and personal aspirations.

On Overcoming Limitations—A Chrysalis from a Sarcophagus

Stuart’s “Boxed-In” captures the essence of overcoming limitations, depicted as both a chrysalis and a sarcophagus. The sculpture represents the duality of internal and external constraints, emphasizing the effort required to break free and evolve. The fusion of the chrysalis—a symbol of metamorphosis—with the sarcophagus—a symbol of entrapment—illustrates the transformative journey individuals undertake to achieve personal growth.

A Chrysalis from a Sarcophagus—Distinguishing Self-Imposed and External Boundaries

The sculpture’s abstract form invites viewers to contemplate the origins of their limitations. Are the boundaries they face self-imposed, or are they imposed by others? “Boxed-In” serves as a visual metaphor for the introspective process of identifying and overcoming these barriers. The polished bronze surface, combined with the textured and abstract design, enhances the sculpture’s ability to convey depth and complexity, making it a captivating centerpiece in any modern space.

Placed in corporate environments, personal offices, or contemplative areas, “Boxed-In” encourages viewers to reflect on their own journeys of transformation. Its symbolic representation of breaking free from constraints resonates with individuals striving for self-improvement and personal achievement.

Ultimately, “Boxed-In” stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of personal growth and the power of overcoming limitations. This surreal narrative sculpture not only enriches its surroundings with its artistic elegance but also inspires viewers to embark on their own paths of transformation and self-discovery.
