The object is a hand-carved wooden sculpture rendered in an abstract minimalist style. It depicts a single human figure in a seated posture, with the body drawn into a compact form. The figure sits firmly on its buttocks, both knees raised and pulled tightly against the chest. The arms are extended forward and curved around the shins, encircling the legs in a protective, embracing manner. The head is rounded and featureless, slightly bent downward so that it almost rests on the knees, creating a sense of deep thought, meditation, or self-reflection.
The sculpture’s surface is smooth, with visible natural wood grain patterns that add warmth and texture to the piece. The overall form is geometric and simplified, with softened edges and flowing contours, giving it a harmonious, continuous shape. The interlocking arrangement of limbs and body creates a closed, self-contained silhouette, emphasizing themes of introspection, containment, and unity within oneself.
