A nine-foot hollow cast tree is held upright by magnetic spheres that pin it to an internal steel rod, surrounded by bronze forms and their casting shells. 

The work extends from earlier explorations of the slingshot and magnetic bullets as inherited symbols of causality, suspending the instant before impact to contemplate a moment that resists placement on a linear timeline. Past, present, and anticipated versions of the self are projected onto objects that become vessels holding psychological time. Through this act of externalization, internal experience review and recontextualizes itself into form, inviting a multidimensional engagement that seeks one’s continuity amid fluctuating self identity.
