About the Item
In Dream of Flight, the contrast between a heavy figure and a pair of tiny wings creates a sense of whimsy and imagination. The sculpture speaks to the nature of dreams: often they seem unreachable, as impossible as lifting a weighty body with fragile wings, yet when realized, they bring a joy that feels all the more profound and rewarding.
The work is carved from Taiwanese camphor wood, a material known for its distinctive fragrance that offers a sense of calm and stability. Huang applied soft natural gradients that enhance the depth of the form, while deliberate chisel marks add texture and vitality. The wings, painted in white, stand in striking contrast to the body, symbolizing the purity and fragility of aspiration. The wood’s natural wave-like grain further heightens the dreamlike quality, as if the figure exists in a space between reality and imagination.
