Though small in stature, this bronze votive offering projects an enormously powerful emotional energy. He looks heavenward with his hands held out expressively before him, as if bargaining with the gods for who knows what forgotten favor. We have all done this in one way or another--stood naked before the forces of fate--and this striking statue seems to capture the essence of our dreams, desires and ambitions.
