The wood evokes the puppet and its journey through temptation and mistakes. The outstretched hand, a universal symbol of trust and welcome, reveals the axe that forms its very structure, transforming it into an ambiguous and unsettling image. The work thus becomes a warning: behind the most alluring and seemingly harmless paths, painful consequences may be hidden, reminding us that every choice can lead either to growth or to ruin.
