Rising Form

Rising Form by Samuel Sarmiento is a study in contrast — organic shape rendered in industrial material. Crafted from recycled metal, this sculpture rises like a flame or underwater coral, its dark silhouette shaped by fluid contours and jagged negative space. A closer look reveals embedded textures, such as a wire-mesh pattern hidden at its core, offering dimension and depth beneath the surface.
The sculpture’s reflective black finish shifts with light, emphasizing its interplay of solid and void. Simultaneously rigid and expressive, Rising Form evokes motion in stillness, capturing the tension between natural growth and manmade process. This is a work that commands space — bold, quiet, and environmentally conscious.
