Still Stand
Joel Escalona's wooden standing sculptures are objects of raw beauty and serene grace. Each one is a testament to the power of the material, with smooth curves that flow into one another, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect. The sculptures themselves are like silent sentinels, standing guard over the spaces they inhabit, filling their viewers with a lust to touch them.
Design by Joel Escalona for NONO
In a world filled with noise and chaos, Escalona's sculptures offer a moment of calm and tranquility. They invite the viewer to bask in their serenity, to slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature, the beauty of wood, and the beauty of art.
Wood is a medium that offers so many benefits to art and design, beyond visual aesthetics. It's soft enough to be easily worked by hand, yet strong and hard enough to take on virtually any form. Escalona has harnessed the qualities of oak and walnut, natural materials that have been waiting for 3-4 months, to create these sculptures. Each piece is made to order, so some changes may happen to the final design due to the material and process, but that's what makes each piece so unique and special.
