In "Portal Glove," Nestler explores the concept of impermanence and the passage of time
througha modern lens. The sculpture features a glove adorned with a stigma on its
leather, symbolizing an indelible mark. However, delicate flowers intersect the stigma, creating a subtle tension between disgrace and hope. These flowers represent hope, perseverance, rebirth, and acceptance of human
mortality.
