STORY
The sunset symbolises the completion of the day and shows the passage of time. As the sun sets, it is time to end the day and take a break, unwind and relax. The awesome beauty of the setting sun is also symbolic of the beauty of life itself. A network of interconnecting scales forms the basis of this work, Unique texture and structure builds the horned section on its back portraying the skin or armour of the crocodile as it lays floating silently in the water.I am a man of the Saltwater; a Crocodile; Proud of my Heritage. Joshua Bonson
