About

Dusty Heart is a stainless steel sculpture shaped like a massive tumbleweed, its woven metal branches forming a sphere that cradles a glowing fire at its core. Nearby, a small covered wagon filled with firewood and an elevated fire pit create a scene reminiscent of a nomadic desert encampment. The polished steel reflects the flickering flames, while the sculpture's organic, wind-tossed form captures the energy of motion and transformation. Together, the elements evoke warmth, impermanence, and the timeless rhythm between humanity, nature, and fire.
