This sculpture of a tiny, endangered koala sitting in a large armchair symbolizes the vulnerability and fragility of threatened species. While koalas are often seen as gentle and resilient animals, their survival is increasingly precarious, creating a poignant contradiction. The armchair serves as a metaphor for comfort, safety, and sanctuary—elements that are essential yet increasingly scarce for wildlife like the koala, whose habitats are rapidly diminishing. At the same time, the sculpture delivers a sobering reminder of the harsh realities faced by koalas in the wild: habitat destruction, climate change, and human encroachment. Ultimately, this piece offers both warmth and urgency—it calls upon viewers to empathize, to recognize the preciousness of endangered life, and to actively support conservation efforts that can protect these gentle creatures before it is too late.
