What’s the story behind the name of this craft sculpture—does it have a hidden meaning?

When I first laid eyes on this craft sculpture, I felt an immediate pull—not just toward its form, but toward its name. You see, every sculpture I create begins with a whisper. Not an audible one, of course, but a quiet idea that grows into a shape, a texture, and finally, a name. This piece, which I call “Echo’s Keeper,” came to me on a foggy morning by the lake. The still water seemed to be holding onto sounds, refusing to let them go. That’s the hidden meaning, really: the name isn’t just a label; it’s a story. “Echo” represents memory, and “Keeper” symbolizes the weight we carry when we hold onto moments long past. The twisted metal and smooth glass aren’t random choices—they’re metaphors. The metal holds the rough edges of memory, while the glass reflects the fragile clarity of hindsight. So, does the name have a hidden meaning? Absolutely. But I’ll let you find your own truth in it. That’s the beauty of craft: the story starts with me, but it finishes with you.
