Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This sculptural artwork features a form resembling a large teardrop or seed pod, with a smooth, matte-gray surface and a distinctive vertical crease or division down the center. The minimalist, abstract composition highlights the inherent beauty and natural geometry of the shape, which appears to be carved or cast in a solid material. The artist's focus on simplicity and the essential form invites the viewer to contemplate the underlying meaning or symbolism, perhaps alluding to themes of growth, transition, or the organic origins of life. ...

Kenneth Tam’s work investigates themes of masculinity, tenderness and vulnerability. He reimagines private and public spaces, and how bodies can exist within them, liberated from societal expectations and gender conformities.
