3 Wise Monkeys (See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil)

This sculptural trio distills the ancient maxim of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” into a compact theater of moral choreography, where each gesture becomes both shield and confession. The dark, burnished surface—punctuated by warm metallic accents—catches light like a slow ember, turning fur-like textures into tactile evidence of vulnerability rather than brute animality. Composed in a tight horizontal rhythm, the figures lean into one another as if complicity and protection are inseparable, suggesting that silence can be a communal comfort as much as an ethical compromise. The playful adornments and poised symmetry sharpen the irony: innocence is performed, while conscience remains restlessly awake beneath the hands.
