This sculpture depicts a large ice cube made of clear resin. A painted abstract paper sculpture is encapsulated inside representing our trapped souls. The ice is sculpted as it is slowly cracking, melting, liquifying, uncovering part of the paper sculpture. Symbolically, the melting ice represents the slow end of our confinement and quarantine bringing out into the open the freedom of our souls. This sculpture can lay freely on a counter top, be hung on a wall or displayed on a stand.
