DESPAIR

“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly"

To be overcome by a sense of futility or defeat, thats what this piece is showing. The black of despair is consuming the white of hope and the life it once had.

I wish I could have photographed this sculpture on a black background, I believe that would help show the crushing emotion that this animal is feeling.
