Description
In The Walking Mountain, the artist personifies the landscape, transforming a massive geological feature into a sentient traveler. The composition is dominated by a sharp, towering black silhouette that forms a triangle against a soft, gradient sky of pink and lavender. Upon closer inspection, the “mountain” reveals spindly, giant legs at its base, suggesting it is slowly stepping across the horizon. The mountain serves as a moving ecosystem and sanctuary for smaller beings. One creature sits at the very peak, while another clings to a branch-like protrusion on the left side. On a small ledge to the right, a single candle burns—a tiny, flickering point of light that emphasizes the mountain’s immense size. This work explores the relationship between the monumental and the minuscule, suggesting that even the largest forces in nature can be gentle protectors for those who live upon them. “It carries the world on its back, stepping softly so as not to blow out the candle’s flame.”
