"Where sharp industrial geometry meets the warmth of the desert sun."
What started as a handful of heavy steel plates from a Phoenix antique store became a bold study in angles. Piece by piece, I built them into the zigzag structure that now defines the sculpture.
◆ The Geometry: Heavy steel plates became the strong architectural frame.
◆ The Contrast: I found a radiant metal sun on an old thrifted wall piece and gave it a completely new purpose at the center.
◆ The Transformation: Hard industrial angles and warm organic detail came together in a composition neither piece was originally meant to become.
The sun changes everything. Against all that raw geometry, it becomes the focal point — a burst of warmth held inside heavy steel.
Phoenix steel. Thrifted sun. Completely reimagined.
