A hand-carved wooden sculpture constructed from interconnected anthropomorphic forms arranged in a compressed, precarious composition. Multiple heads, limbs, hands, and feet overlap and extend in different directions, creating shifting relationships of support, protection, restraint, and instability. Stain, ink, varnish, and wax emphasize the wood grain, carved facets, visible tool marks, and irregular surface. The figures appear to brace, reach, withdraw, and hold one another at once, allowing the sculpture to suggest different responses to fear without resolving those gestures into a single narrative.
