About this work

This bronze sculpture shows a woman kneeling on the ground, reaching up to pet a deer. The animal stands still, its head lowered toward her hand. The woman’s body is twisted, one knee bent, the other foot flat. The surface looks rough and textured, like metal that’s been carved by hand. The deer’s calm pose contrasts with the woman’s active gesture—her fingers almost touching its nose. The whole scene feels quiet, like a moment frozen in time.
