Chalice

Commissioned for the Mount Vernon Unitarian Church in Alexandria, Virginia, this sculpture gracefully integrates spiritual symbolism with artistic form. It features strong, curvilinear lines that arch upwards, directing the viewer's gaze heavenward.

An oil-fuel candle is positioned at the top of this sculptural arc. When lit, the candlelight seems to float magically above the pulpit area, casting a warm, inviting glow that enhances the space's sanctity. This effect adds to the aesthetic and spiritual ambiance and draws congregational focus to the central area of worship.

The combination of flowing lines and suspended light is a visual metaphor for divine presence. As a central feature within the church, this sculpture enriches the worship experience and elevates the spiritual contemplation.
