A traditional craftsman cuts a lonely figure in the darkness as he diligently forges metal in this sombre piece. The play of light and dark gives depth to this highly symbolic artwork. The sparks as a result of the craftsman’s welding illuminates a portion of the room, symbolising the future that the man is working towards whilst the darkness depicts the recollections of the past. The artist draws attention to once treasured trades that have become a lost art form.
