The Reach, After the Wind #01

The wind passes and leaves a trace. Sometimes in the opening of a bird's wings, sometimes in the silence suspended in the air. The bird is the purest symbol of freedom — neither bound to the ground, nor fixed in one place. It glides, it rises, it disappears. After the Wind is the story of this trace and this freedom. It carves into stone, through abstract forms, what remains the very moment the wind passes by, and the movement and independence hidden within the bird's flight. Each artwork freezes a moment within itself; that fragile, fleeting point right in the middle of the bird's wingbeat. Making the invisible visible, and rendering what is felt tangible, After the Wind is a limited-edition sculpture series by The Clique Artworks.

Reaching out is sometimes a braver act than flying.

The Reach carries that exact moment right before a bird spreads its wings, stretching upward — the flight has not yet begun, but the decision has already been made. The form carves this determination and tension into stone; every line reaching upward is the silent expression of that deep longing for freedom.
