Grateful is a commanding, 7-foot freestanding sculpture that transforms an everyday material into an expressive work of contemporary art. Built from layers of hand-applied duct tape over a solid Douglas fir structure, the piece carries a striking duality: industrial texture contrasted with organic form. Its tall, slender profile, 7 feet high, only 7 inches wide, and 3 inches deep, creates an elegant vertical presence that invites viewers to pause, reflect, and consider the quiet power of gratitude.

The sculpture’s substantial weight contributes to its grounded, architectural feel, while the tactile surface reveals the meticulous craftsmanship behind the work. Whether displayed in a gallery, modern home, or public space, “Grateful” stands as both a visual statement and an emotional reminder of appreciation in its most elemental form.
