This 14” x 9” x 16” sculpture, which Maestre completed in 2005, is named after a mythological seal that can shed its own skin to become human. “There is a lot of emotion in this one for me,” Maestre says. “The points going in, opening up and transformation— I am a huge fan of transformation myths.”

I love these sculptures and the story behind this one in particular. So cool.
