On its most basic level, this sculpture is a sensitive study of the human form. With naturalistic vigor, the artist has captured the powerful curve of the back, the way the arms rest on the knees, the angle of repose. The proportions are hardly accurate, the details are simplified, yet the overall impression is of a body as the eye sees it. On a deeper level, the sculpture conveys a mood of introspection we can all identity within ourselves. Deep in thought, as if putting life in perspective, this man reminds us that we all need our quiet moments.
