This sculpture captures a moment of pure, instinctive affection between a mother giraffe and her calf- a loving exchange rendered in the earthy greens and browns of a verdigris patina that echoes the colours of the wild.
The composition follows a beautiful S-curve, an elegant sweep that guides the eye naturally from the mother’s bowed head to the calf nestled below. It is a line that feels almost musical, a visual rhythm that turns a simple gesture into a story.
The mother’s long neck arcs downward in a graceful bend, her face touching the calf’s with gentle reassurance. The calf, seated in a posture of trust, lifts its small head to meet her- a moment suspended in metal, yet alive with warmth. Their forms mirror one another, creating a harmonious balance between protection and innocence, strength and vulnerability.
