This delightful work is a perfect continuation of this tradition: a small, bizarre creature that invites endless curiosity. Is it a mouse? A hare? A surreal hybrid of the two? Its oversized ears, angular features, and polished stone surface create a whimsical presence that feels both playful and strange. It’s weird and fun in all the best ways, blurring the lines between imagination and nature.
