This sculpture stages a quiet encounter between endurance and transience. A translucent wolf skull emerges from a stratified, mineral-like formation, its upward posture suggesting invocation rather than dominance. Cast in epoxy resin and embedded among crystalline growths, the skull hovers between fossil and apparition, neither fully natural nor entirely synthetic. A small butterfly rests within the formation, introducing a fragile, temporal presence against geological mass, and complicating any simple reading of power or permanence. Together, these elements propose a moment of suspension and a condition in which growth, erosion, memory, and transformation occur simultaneously, and where no element exists in isolation.
