Description
This sculpture features a stylized hippo sitting atop a polished, interlocking, and reflective metallic knot. The hippo is crafted with a smooth, serene expression, sitting confidently on top of the knot, which is complex and intertwined, symbolizing the concepts of eternity or infinite connection. The reflective metal contrasts with the hippo’s textured, matte surface, creating a striking visual balance between the organic and the industrial.The symbolism of the piece could represent harmony between strength and complexity, suggesting that even in life's most tangled situations, there is a sense of stability and peace. The hippo, often a symbol of power and stability, balances atop the metallic knot, which could symbolize the complexities of life or eternal connections between individuals, ideas, or emotions. This juxtaposition may invite viewers to consider how strength can prevail over life’s complexities and how balance and peace can be achieved in challenging or tangled circumstances.
