Description
Monkashira by Carter Art is a striking metal sculpture that transforms discarded industrial materials into an evocative, modern piece of art. Created from repurposed gas heater parts and scrap metal, this 100 x 50 cm sculpture pays tribute to the traditional Japanese concept of the Monkashira — the gatekeepers of sacred spaces, standing watch at the entrance to temples and shrines.
The piece embodies both strength and resilience, blending the organic, flowing forms of traditional design with the raw, industrial texture of reclaimed metal. The intricate combination of rusted, weathered elements captures the essence of protection and guardianship, while the juxtaposition of discarded objects suggests themes of renewal and transformation. Each carefully chosen part tells a story, giving new life to once-forgotten materials.
Monkashira is a bold statement on the intersection of modern art, sustainability, and cultural symbolism. Whether displayed in a contemporary home, gallery, or corporate space, it commands attention and inspires reflection on the role of art in shaping our connection to the world around us.
