HEAVY METAL BUBBLES
Heavy Metal Bubbles emerged from watching children play with a bubble blower, delighting in fleeting forms that catch light before vanishing. Roosevelt translates this moment of innocence into steel, creating interlinking abstract circles that freeze movement into permanence.
The paradox drives the work: playfulness becomes gravity, the ephemeral becomes enduring. Each sculpture bears the marks of its making, hammered textures, heat scars, evidence of force applied to resistant material. The forms are irregular, dented, and imperfect, echoing the way life shapes us over time. These works are meditations on resilience, adaptation, and the beauty that emerges through pressure and transformation.
