The image depicts a series of whimsical bronze sculptures by Paul Lotz named "I Believe." These sculptures feature a fantastical fusion of animals with elements of aviation. Three balloon-like structures, resembling aged metal with a patina finish, are connected with delicate chains to creatures that defy the ordinary: a winged pig, a fish with bird’s wings, and a duck with deer antlers. The balloons, with their netted design, suggest a bygone era of air travel, reminiscent of early hot air balloons. Each animal is intricately detailed, with textured surfaces that highlight the unique featuresâ€"such as the pig’s furled wings, the fish’s scales, and the duck’s feathers. The duck also sports a pair of small, ungulate legs, adding to the surreal nature of the work.
These gravity-defying beings, tethered to their balloons, invoke a sense of dreamlike possibility and the magic of believing in the unbelievable. The craftsmanship suggests a blend of traditional sculpture techniques with a modern twist on mythical storytelling.
