Pulse of Survival

"Pulse of Survival" is a powerful and emotional sculpture that portrays the struggle of enduring pain and illness. Made from iron wires, net, foam, gypsum, masking tape, and red acrylic paint, it embodies the raw, harsh reality of fighting to survive physically and emotionally. Each material symbolizes aspects of that battle: twisted wires and nets represent entrapment and struggle, while gypsum and tape reflect fragile attempts to heal and hold on. The vivid red paint evokes pain and intensity, and the added sound of breathing reinforces the fragile presence of life. This piece is not meant to be beautiful; it is a visceral testament to endurance and the will to stay standing through suffering.
