The Listener

StoneDescription
Carved in polished black stone, The Listener embodies stillness, humility, and inward attention. The bowed form suggests a moment of quiet dialogue—between self and spirit, earth and memory. Rooted in the Shona sculptural tradition, the work speaks of respect, patience, and the wisdom found in silence. Rather than asserting presence, the figure absorbs it, reminding us that understanding often begins not with speaking, but with listening deeply to the world around us.Try it!
