The Final Move - Karen Axikyan

Woven from tangled strands of iron wire, a graceful dancer balances on one leg while the other stretches skyward, a wooden chess bishop poised at its tip. In her lowered hand she cradles a carved knight, turning the board into a ballet of strategy and movement. The Final Move blends fragile-looking wire with solid basalt and aged wood, creating a striking contrast of lightness and weight. Every loop of metal feels alive, capturing the tension of a decisive moment just before checkmate. Hand-twisted wire shows new details at each turn. A poetic sculpture for chess lovers, dancers and collectors of contemporary Armenian art, it brings elegance and intellect to any shelf, desk or gallery space.
