Taking a Moment

Recycled Metal Seated Figure Sculpture

Handcrafted from reclaimed and recycled metal — giving new life to industrial materials, meaning no two are ever the same.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop.

Taking a Moment is a handcrafted metal sculpture made entirely from reclaimed industrial components — steel box section, nuts, bolts and twisted wire — welded by hand and mounted on a solid steel base. The seated figure, perched quietly on a bench with a flash of red at its heart, captures something we all need reminding of: to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the present.

It’s the kind of piece that earns its place on a shelf, a desk or a windowsill — and starts conversations every time.

Work with your hands, heal your mind.
