The head...Young Caribou, Nestled on the Tundra emphasizes compactness and repose. The animal’s body tucks neatly into itself, forelegs folded beneath and hindquarters rounded into a solid, grounded mass. The head tilts gently upward, ears pointed and alert, creating a subtle counterbalance to the weight of the torso. The simplified base, merging seamlessly with the caribou’s form, suggests the tundra without elaboration, anchoring the figure and reinforcing the impression of stillness and containment within the landscape.Provenance
