Beggar takes the form of a human hand, cast in acrylic resin and mineral salts and left deliberately irregular — slightly deformed, caught somewhere between gesture and distortion rather than naturalistic accuracy. The resin surface has a rough, crystalline texture that gives the piece an unfinished, almost eroded quality even before it’s switched on.
The mineral salts create an uneven translucency through the resin, so when lit the hand becomes both material and immaterial at once — solid in places, fractured and glowing in others.
The form draws on the symbolism of the hand in medieval art and tarot, where hands often stood for divine power or an act of offering. Here the reference is more ambiguous: the piece is titled Beggar for the act of reaching or asking, tying the tarot’s questioning, dependent hand to a personal reading of that symbolism. Sculptural form and function meet directly in the piece, putting a symbolic gesture into everyday domestic space.
This piece is also available with customisation on request.
