‘Fractured Faultlines’ emphasizes beauty found in disruption and depth. Fractured layers reveal a multi-coloured core, rich with a rare, historical quality. Textured embellishments highlight the oxidation process, giving the surface an aged elemental feel. Organic and structured shapes are playfully juxtaposed, creating visual tension that emphasizes the balance between chaos and order. This work invites reflection on what lies beneath – where fragmentation reveals not weakness, but transformation.
