Mario

Part of the Reflection Series.

Mario gazes out at the London skyline with hope and anticipation. Fresh from a small town in Spain, he has left behind the familiar to embrace the unknown, carrying only his dreams and determination.

Though he arrives knowing no one, Mario’s heart is open. He longs to meet new people, explore different cultures, and soak up every experience the city has to offer. His story is one of optimism and courage, a reminder that reflection is not only about looking back, but also about imagining what lies ahead.

Crafted from clay with a wire armature, Mario stands as a figure of aspiration, embodying the thrill of change and the beauty of stepping into a new chapter.
