An elder stands between knowing and becoming in "Wisdom Seeker." His chin echoes the forms of African tribes, one eye turned inward, the other outward to his staff. The staff is alive—three-legged, crowned with an eye, channeling wisdom from the ground to the man himself. Surrounded by swirling yellows, golds, and browns, he is caught in the eternal act of seeking truth, reminding us that wisdom is not possessed but pursued.
