Bagong Simula – New Beginning

Bagong Simula — Filipino for New Beginning — is a mixed-media metal sculpture that captures the profound moment when life stirs from the earth and reaches toward the light.

At its base, dark bronze roots sprawl wide and deep, gnarled and weathered — a testament to struggle, to seasons endured. From this grounded foundation, slender copper and brass stems twist upward in fluid, organic spirals, unfurling into golden leaves and delicate blossoms. Cradled at the heart of this ascending growth sits a small gilded human figure — curled, contemplative, held gently by the world blooming around it.

The contrast is intentional: the weight of the dark roots below, the luminous warmth of gold above. It is a sculpture about transformation — the quiet courage it takes to begin again, and the beauty that emerges when you do.
