D KNOT # 1

Description:

This D-Knot was created while my son was in drug rehabilitation. Throughout the year-long creative process, I used powerful carving tools to express my anger and frustration, creating a piece that mirrors the complexities of his struggle with addiction.

- Robin Antar

David Antar had a tough exterior but a kind heart. He founded the organization called “CRY OUT” to help others with addiction, although he ultimately could not save himself. Three years later, the family received the heartbreaking news of David's passing. D-Knot #1 reflects the dualities of strength and vulnerability inherent in addiction, showcasing the contradictions sympbolized by a hard stone that appears pliable with sharp lines in the soft color of the watermelon marble. Robin Antar’s D-Knots represent the challenges of life and universal themes of struggle.
