Background

Drawing inspiration from the original, unvarnished fairytale, this sculpture focuses on the pivotal moment when Rapunzel's tears restore sight to her blinded prince. The piece challenges spatial expectations: her heavy braid anchors the base and sweeps upward, single-handedly supporting her floating bust like the structural pillar of a hidden tower. With an expressive face marked by a visible tear, the work balances deep emotional intimacy with clever structural tension. It translates classic fantasy folklore into a physical testament to devotion, resilience, and the quiet power of grief.
