The artist seems to want to convey an inner tension, accentuated by the angularity of the strokes and a balance between raw form and figurative sensibility. The deliberately irregular surface hints at the chisel's gesture and gives a sense of emotional authenticity. The work rests on a dark marble cubic base that enhances its material strength.
