Waizu is a sculptural tribute to quiet wisdom and graceful simplicity. Named after the Japanese word for “wise,” the piece evokes a swan-like presence: poised, elegant, and serene. Its elongated silhouette rises with subtle asymmetry, a gesture of calm rather than control—reflecting Morrison’s embrace of organic imperfection over precision.

Waizu reveals the character of the material beneath—soft marks, gentle undulations, the imprint of the maker’s touch. The recessed oval form carved into its body adds both visual depth and tactile contrast, inviting reflection. Rooted in the minimalist elegance of Mid Century Modern design yet shaped by instinct and hand, Waizu is a quiet statement—an object that holds presence through restraint and beauty through clarity.

While the form itself may repeat, each piece is unique and varies slightly.
