"In Love" is a captivating sumo sculpture finished in shimmering golden pigment, symbolizing passion and strength. Red butterflies gracefully surround the figure, representing love, transformation, and renewal. This piece blends the powerful form of the sumo wrestler with the delicate beauty of the butterflies, embodying the theme of love’s transformative power and resilience. With steady breathing, his half-open lips allow the air to flow freely, fostering a dynamic exchange between his inner essence and the outside world. His powerful body finds harmony with the elements, while the materials that make him transcend into light, ascending toward the heavens. His being becomes a space of warmth, welcoming a swarm of butterflies that gently settle upon him, floating in the vast blue sky. Crafted in shimmering gold, he embodies both divine majesty and spiritual transformation.
