Transformation and resilience are at the heart of Rebirth, a surreal sculpture where a flower grows from the base of a half-figure. The work symbolizes the potential for growth and renewal after destruction, both individually and collectively.

Through figurative and conceptual sculpture, the piece reflects on how people can overcome societal pressures, personal trauma, and systemic oppression to reclaim autonomy and equality.


The sculpture critiques social structures that stunt human potential—whether through economic disparity, political injustice, or cultural repression. By visualizing new life emerging from decay, the work emphasizes that resilience is possible, and that societal systems must nurture rather than inhibit growth. People deserve environments that allow them to flourish, free from coercion, inequality, and oppression.


Rebirth is also a meditation on collective responsibility. Transformation is not only personal—it is social. Communities must actively dismantle barriers that prevent freedom and equality. The figure’s partial emergence is a call to action: society must support and sustain the regeneration of individuals, ensuring justice and equal opportunity for all.


Finally, the piece celebrates human potential. It asserts that freedom, justice, and equality are not ideals to be debated—they are essential prerequisites for life and human dignity. Through this symbolic realism, Rebirth becomes both a critique of failure and a hopeful vision of what society could achieve.
