Everyday Above Ground is Gold

Black charcoal patina on hand sculpted porcelain incense chamber. Artist's statement: The sculpture came to mind after a visit to Ground Zero in Marawi. The stories of Datus and modern day warriors (normal every day men) trying to keep their families and loved ones safe from war formed the symbol of a skull adorned by Sarimanok feathers resting on a Torogan house while smoke emits from under the feathers and through the eye sockets.
