Drew, the first two views use the sequence of stepped planes as a good design decision, but the textural marks on the other sided look more like surface decoration and less like sculptural forms.
I like the unity of the stepping elements and it would make your piece stronger if you made the textured elements more deeply carved to emulate the same stepping characteristic as the other parts to fully unify the piece.
I love the texture and the stepping elements. I like that the stepping elements make it stand a little tilted, it helps make the form less like a square and looks like it’s fighting gravity. It might strengthen your piece to add the textured elements to the steps to make it more continuous.
