Affection

This sculptural tableau stages two elongated dachshunds in a taut, almost ceremonial encounter, their raised muzzles meeting at the threshold between affection and challenge. The rhythmic segmentation of their bodies—alternating smooth, warm-toned planes with stitched, leatherlike textures—turns the animals into emblems of crafted memory, where tenderness is inseparable from restraint. Set on a sinuous, shadow-dark base, the figures feel anchored to a shared ground that both unites and divides, suggesting a quiet narrative of companionship negotiated through distance, symmetry, and touch.
