Lost parts, found purpose

The Soul Shepherd

“The Soul Shepherd” is a kinetic sculpture that embodies the delicate dance of forgotten materials and the whisper of memory. Built from a polished metal dome, typewriter parts (notably the letter arms), aged leather, and repurposed mechanical elements, this figure appears to float in a perpetual state of meditation.

Its form suggests a mystical being — a silent, ethereal soul shepherd. Topped by a narrow leather-laced neck and a minimalistic mechanical head.

The piece is subtly animated, capable of rising, falling, and oscillating in gentle motions, evoking the rhythms of breath or silent prayer.

“The Soul Shepherd” brings these abandoned fragments back to life, inviting viewers to reflect on the boundary between machine and spirit, between object and consciousness.
