Executed in 2007 - present, this work is unique.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. On the left bottom side of the torso of the snowman, there is very slight scratching visible only upon inspection, which are inherent to the work. On the back of the torso, tiny dots of light brown discolouration are visible as a result of minor indentation to the stone. Very slight scratching can be seen on the lower bottom edge of back torso, visible only upon close inspection. The Buddha figure has only minor indentations to its base, with one small chip to the bottom left corner of the fabric, visible only upon closer inspection. All of which are in keeping with the artist's choice of material.
