Wood statuette, 'Romancing Monkey'
Employing local suar wood, Nyoman Karsa skillfully carves this image of Balinese monkeys. The pair strikes a loving pose, embraced in an expression of nature�s intimacy. Subtle details complement the wood�s alluring grain. Imbued with ecological sentiments, the work offers a unique touch to any interior. Says Karsa, �Outside is the natural world; the lives of animals depend on human behavior. Numerous hunters travel around the world endangering the lives of animals, while only a few people concern themselves with finding the best way to save them from entirely disappearing. By creating animal statuettes I offer an alternative for animal lovers.�
