Soap Sculpture – 1
I just received a soap sculpture of a man reclining on a low chair.  He appears luminous and blue, a lonely figure reclining on the kitchen table in the morning sun. I call him Max.  With all that blue, he reminds me of winter snow and ice – a Russian or someone from northern climes.  With those long elegant legs, he could have been a dancer.   He seems old and at peace, enjoying tranquility in his final days.  I hesitate to touch him but aware his hours are numbered.  I move him to a fruit bowl.  He appears more comfortable now, protected from the kitchen clutter.  Maybe he’s dreaming or just counting the days.
