The figure advances mid-stride, its body suspended between effort and balance. Crafted from tightly wound iron wire, the animal’s form carries a sense of tensile strength, every loop and twist recording motion rather than anatomy. There is no smoothness here; instead, the surface vibrates with intent, as though movement itself has been caught and held.
What anchors the sculpture are the small stone blocks beneath each hoof. They are not laid out as a ready path, nor do they suggest a fixed route. Each block exists only where the figure places its weight. The gesture is decisive: the body commits first, and the ground responds after. This inversion is the work’s quiet provocation.
The contrast between materials sharpens this idea. Iron bends, strains, and reaches forward; stone appears only at the moment of contact. Stability is not pre-given but earned through action. The figure does not hesitate or look down. It moves with a confidence that assumes support will appear because it must.
Seen this way, the sculpture becomes an image of self-assured progress. It speaks of movement guided by conviction rather than certainty, of paths that do not wait to be discovered but are formed through belief and momentum. As a table or shelf object, it carries a steady reminder: direction is often created by the courage to step forward, even when the way ahead is not yet visible.
