Tentamen II

Amethyst, Hand-placed glass, Resin
2025

This piece is a second beginning - a visceral return to beauty, discipline, and defiance.
Tentamen II reflects the tension between control and surrender, precision and intuition.

Once a portrait artist, I stepped away from the canvas when my hands began to shake. Resin became my new medium — equally demanding, impossibly fluid, and utterly unforgiving. It became a partner in creation: resisting perfection, but revealing something more raw.

Real amethyst fragments, shards of glass, and silver-laced glitter are embedded into its surface like memory into bone — shimmering with every shift of light.

Tentamen II is a study in rebirth — real amethyst, crushed glass, and poured resin form a sculptural landscape of control and chaos. A second attempt at the art world, and a resolute return to beauty.
