Touch

A 15cm bronze sphere contained within a 16cm x 16cm acrylic perspex box. This piece represents the untouchable beauty of the external world. Inspired by the soft delicate inner surface of the natural world such as a cacti; having a soft interior protected by robust defensive spikes to prevent harm created by the external world. Wanting to represent the mask we wear in society, sometimes we feel we are so close to someone yet we all seem to have to hide our true selves behind transparent masks. The title "Touch" is contradicting to the untouchable bronze sphere. So close, yet so far.
