A monumental sculpture composed of two distinct parts, *Steel Tear* brings together carbon steel and stainless steel in a work that explores the material tension between rawness and refinement. Sam Falls harnesses the contrasting properties of the two metals — one prone to weathering and oxidation, the other resistant and enduring — to evoke themes of vulnerability and strength. The interplay between the aging, industrial quality of the carbon steel and the cool, reflective surface of the stainless steel creates a dynamic dialogue about transformation and permanence.
