Shame Shame (Dog with Flower Sculpture)

This sculptural work stages a quiet tension between the warmth of carved wood and the cool, surgical gleam of metal, as if tenderness and constraint occupy the same breath. The animal’s simplified, steadfast body reads as an emblem of loyalty and instinct, yet its elongated tail becomes a conduit leading the eye to a winglike wooden form—part shelter, part burden—anchoring the figure to something larger than itself. Light slides across the polished grain and reflective steel, turning texture into narrative: organic growth meets mechanical intervention, suggesting the fragile negotiations between nature, domestication, and imposed design.
