Path of Arete

2024

Carrara Marble

20 × 20 × 40

Carved from statuary Carrara marble, this sculpture reflects the artist’s lifelong struggle to unite concept and craft. Arete—the Greek ideal of excellence—becomes a personal journey rather than a destination. Each mark in the stone traces the tension between idea and execution, between what the mind envisions and what the hands can achieve. It is a meditation on the artist’s pursuit of integrity through form, and the quiet acceptance that mastery is never complete.
