Cower

Cower is a bronze figure caught between reverence and despair. Its bent form reflects fear, helplessness, and the weight of a world in crisis.

Influenced by Antony Gormley’s use of the human body as a vessel for universal emotion, the piece strips away individuality to speak about collective anxiety. Bronze gives it permanence — as if fear itself is cast into something unshakable.

The work asks viewers to recognise their own fears: are you frozen by them, or driven to act?
