Mid Gallop (Horse in the City)

Rendered in warm, honeyed timber, the horse emerges like a remembered monument—its raised foreleg suspending the instant between motion and restraint, as if the city itself is holding its breath. The carved silhouette reads as a quiet palimpsest: civic fragments and signage gather beneath the animal’s body, suggesting how public space is stitched from symbols, directions, and collective ritual. Light catching the grain turns the surface into atmosphere, so the figure feels both solid and ghosted—an emblem of power softened into contemplation, where heritage and everyday infrastructure coexist in a single, tender relief.
