About "Leopard"

This evocative mixed media sculpture, sculpted with coarse, organic hessian, challenges the boundary between fragility and resilience. The woven texture, rich with earthy undertones, evokes a sense of raw vulnerability, while its structured form suggests endurance and memory. Threads unravel delicately at the edges, a quiet testament to time and transformation. The interplay of light and shadow across its fibrous surface adds a visceral tactility--inviting touch, evoking reflection. A work that feels both ancient and immediate, it resonates with themes of nature, impermanence, and the human imprint on organic matter.
