Title: | Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) |
Description: | This Bornean orangutan reflects the subtle human-like characteristics that are common in this primate. The sculpture has excellent contrast between fur-like rough texture and smooth eyes and skin. With a calm and meditative gaze, this sculpture implores the viewer to consider it's plight (both environmental, poaching and youth being taken as pets). The sculpture is hopeful and honors the beauty of the Bornean orangutan. |
