This ceramic sculpture is grounded in reflections on human relationships inspired by the Hedgehog’s Dilemma. While intimacy in reality often leads to mutual harm, the work imagines an ideal form of closeness in which proximity does not result in pain.
Within overlapping networks of relationships, individuals appear differently depending on context—someone perceived as harsh in one relationship may be deeply wounded in another. Shaped by hand in clay, the animal form embodies this relational complexity and invites a more layered and empathetic way of seeing others.
