2025, Ceramic, Wood, Paper, Brass, Acrylic, and Ink 26hx13d×16w

This work is inspired by the story of Phaëthon’s sisters who were turned to Popular trees in their mourning. This piece imagines them being freed from their unfair prison into new life when the popular tree is devoured by beetles.

A figure in a shoulder stand with dark black hair has 7 sets of feet seeking balance at the top of the pose, while seven beetles with open blue forms are perched throughout. The figure has rough tree like legs, a double layer circle skirt of blue and white she is pushing upwards in the back with her hands, and a tan shirt. She is on a circular wooden base with a light blue circle near its edge.
