The Crossing — bronze sculpture on a wooden base

A long, weathered boat floats above a wooden plinth, carrying a single slender figure who stands quietly, gazing into the distance. The composition is stripped to its essentials — one horizontal, one vertical — so all the attention falls on the tension between stillness and journey. The piece is handmade: cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, then worked by hand and finished with a patina in shades of green, grey and copper.

This is genuine handcrafted work — the rough, almost eroded surface of the hull and the figure comes from individual modelling, so every casting carries its own texture and its own distribution of patina. The bronze is mounted on a solid wooden base in a warm mahogany tone, whose depth contrasts with the coolness of the metal and reinforces the sense of the vessel hovering above water. The sculpture sits beautifully on a sideboard, console table, desk or shelf in a minimalist interior, and its universal imagery of passage, transition and new beginnings makes it a thoughtful gift for a significant moment in someone's life.
