AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In this work, I explored the harmony between the unusual and the everyday by placing a hippopotamus in a domestic setting, a bathtub. This contrast creates an atmosphere of surreal calm, inviting reflection on the nature of our own comforting spaces. The bathtub becomes a personal sanctuary, even for such a imposing creature. Subtle and contemplative, this piece will resonate with a sense of quietude and wonder in your home.
