The piece depicts a stylized anthropomorphic figure with outstretched, angular limbs and symbolic geometric cutouts, evoking ritual, movement, and ancestral iconography.

The sculpture is cut from thick steel plate and mounted on a solid circular base, retaining a richly oxidized surface with natural rust patina that enhances its raw, earthy presence. The visible saw-cut edges, tool marks, and layered metal surfaces speak to its handmade nature and sculptural integrity. Chalk markings and cut-out symbols on the underside further emphasize its studio-made, artist-crafted origin.

A striking statement object, ideal for collectors of Brutalist, tribal-inspired, or outsider-influenced modern sculpture. Works beautifully as a standalone sculptural accent or within a curated modern or eclectic interior.
