Teacher
“Teacher” rests on a classical symbolic triad. The haloed serpent stands for wisdom, embodied memory and renewal. The skull is a memento mori, the measure of every choice. The barefoot feet point to presence, vulnerability and readiness to learn. A field of patinated gold and floral filigree ties the personal to the perennial order. The serpent’s eye and S-curve lead the gaze from life to the understanding of life’s worth. The piece invites a quiet conversation about discipline, responsibility, and the courage to look at the root of things.
