The mixed-media work “Just to Be” depicts a profile of a face engaged in a diagonal dialogue with a skull. The unique composition positions the head slightly above the skull, creating the impression of looking down on mortality. This unusual perspective adds dynamic tension and evokes a profound emotional response.

The two heads are placed opposite each other, as if in a silent, contemplative conversation. The metallic surface of the sculpture enhances the effect, giving the figures a mechanical, almost robotic appearance. This industrial character lends the piece a contemporary aesthetic that is both modern and philosophical. The 3D metal construction adds depth and dimension, emphasizing the contrasts between life and death, human and machine.

“Just to Be” is a work that encourages introspection. It invites the viewer to explore questions about the nature of life, mortality, and the inevitable connection between the two. The diagonal alignment and the cool metallic structure symbolize the balance between distance and closeness, grandeur and fragility.

This artwork is more than just a visual experience. It is an invitation to pause and reflect on the existential themes of being—a profound contemplation that captures the beauty and transience of life in a modern, mechanical aesthetic.
