I entered this piece in the 2023 de Young open show. I'm afraid it didn't make the cut, but non-the-less, I think it is an elegant contemporary take on the heart of a Yipwon sculpture from the Korewori River region of Papua New Guinea. This is a theme I often come back too.
Honduran Rosewood w/Teak and Walnut base. The size includes the base.
