The piece is made from coated black and white, perhaps vintage, telephone wire, wrapped delicately around a metal frame.

The sculpture posses an elegant grace, as the artist skillfully captured the weariness and time worn asymmetrical body of an aging zebra still trodding along.

The artist seems to bestow the animal with a respectful, honorable, admiration.

The eyes are red beads

The silhouette has a minimalist, Giacometti style, another artist whose works were tributes to older, fragile, people, unseen by most in society.

Captivating, exquisite, artistic celebration of humanity.
