When Facing South explores expansion, warmth, and transformation. South, the direction of fire and growth, asks how we kindle passion and carry that warmth forward to nourish ourselves and others. At the center, a circular hearth-like form framed in enduring white oak holds a deep red surface that reads as heat, blood, and life force. Ropes extend downward from this center, their knots and red bindings marking deliberate moments of offering and intention within the process of expansion. Surrounding forms operate like a star map, where black rubber orbs draw inward, obsidian centers reflect truth, and wax-coated ash rounds preserve and diffuse light. Fan-shaped ash forms fitted with horsehair suggest the act of tending embers so the fire continues to burn. Together these materials create a system of wayfinding that offers tools for nurturing inner fire and carrying warmth outward with care.
