Material : Natural wood, minimal finishing, raw wooden base
Technique : Sculpting with natural wood and minimal finishing to form a faceless, asymmetrical figure; using a raw wooden base to maintain simplicity and underscore the crude nature of the path. The technique employs minimal refinement and exaggerated form to conceptually represent misguided leadership and movement without direction

A faceless figure with uneven steps and a hand turned cane—an image of one who moves, but not necessarily knows where. *The Crooked Path of Guidance* reflects a world where the blind lead and ignorance carves the path. It is a contemplation of systems that claim to guide despite foundational blindness, and of people who march on nonetheless.
