“Wisdom IV” continues my exploration of the moment a man begins to embody wisdom. This clay bust of a middle-aged Asian man captures a quiet strength shaped by time, life experiences, and contemplation. I have tried to reveal the tension between youthfulness still present in us all and the gravity of lived years. As part of a broader series portraying men from diverse backgrounds, the work invites viewers to consider how wisdom arises from age, culture, and the universal human journey.
