Disquiet, a high relief sculpture of a Lowland Gorilla, connects to the viewer’s ability to introspectively contemplate the future. The destruction of our environment puts all species on the planet in danger. The gaze of the gorilla anxiously peers into the distant future, bringing a heightened awareness to what our reality may be. By creating an emotional connection with the viewer transference of the disquietness depicted occurs.
