The process begins with inspiration, which can arise from myriad sources—nature, emotions, societal themes, personal experiences, or abstract concepts.
With the groundwork laid, the sculptor begins to shape the raw material, gradually coaxing it into form. This phase involves a combination of hand-building, carving, modeling, and manipulation techniques.
With the sculpture nearing completion, final touches are applied, and the work is prepared for presentation. Depending on the context—whether it's destined for a gallery, a public space, a private collection, or a commission.
