Sleepwalker

A human-like figure constructed from iron and aluminum is draped in cloth, evoking the haunting, suspended state between consciousness and sleep. George Lappas animates industrial materials with an uncanny sense of vulnerability and motion, as if the figure is caught mid-stride in an unconscious journey. The interplay of rigid metal and soft fabric heightens the tension between fragility and permanence.
