Cobra Lady

A sculptural object and an Artist’s Pick, holding the tension between shedding and strength, vulnerability and power. Cobra Lady carries that exact feeling. The body is finished in metallic silver glaze, while the cobra wraps around it in burnt copper — protective, watchful, and fierce. In person, she feels intimate in scale but emotionally weighty, like a personal symbol rather than just decor. This is the kind of piece that belongs on a bedside, shelf, or quiet corner where it can be seen often and felt deeply. A reminder of shedding seasons, of change that cracks you open before it remakes you, and of the strange beauty in not emerging untouched. It also makes a deeply meaningful gift for someone moving through a season of becoming — a small symbol of strength, survival, and rising again. For the right person, this will not read as perfection. It will read as truth. Note: This piece has a minor surface crack formed during firing. It does not take away from its presence as a sculptural object — if anything, it feels deeply in line with the meaning of the work.
