Back / Up Dog
Background
"Up Dog" is a sculpture depicting a playful harbor seal striking a whimsical pose. The Bronze, expertly cast in Florence Italy, captures the smooth, sleek texture of the seal's body as it arches backward in a graceful backbend, mimicking a yoga pose. Its tail is raised high in the air creating a beautiful curve that flows down to the flippers, while its head is tilted up in a moment of pure joyful expression.The sculpture perfectly embodies the flexible and spirited nature of these marine animals transforming a simple stretch into a lighthearted and elegant work of art.
