Hand-carved wooden sculpture composed of stacked anthropomorphic forms rising in a vertical arrangement with multiple heads and projecting limbs. Metal elements integrate with the carved wood, while stain, ink, varnish, and wax emphasize the wood grain and hand-carved surface

A hand-carved wooden sculpture organized as a tall vertical composition of interconnected anthropomorphic forms. Multiple heads, limbs, and carved structural elements are stacked to create an elongated silhouette that shifts as it is viewed from different angles. Integrated metal components become part of the overall construction without concealing the hand-worked qualities of the sculpture. Stain, ink, varnish, and wax enhance the natural grain of the wood while preserving visible tool marks, carved facets, and evidence of assembly.
