Cud Eastbound - Elements at Bay

​

Elements at Bay' is an interactive sculpture nestled on the frozen expanse of the Yukon River, constructed from found wood. Its intricate structure, riddled with apertures, symbolizes the futility of conventional shelters in shielding us from life's challenges. The piece mirrors the struggle in North America, where homeownership is an aspiration, yet the prevailing economic strains make it difficult to navigate the costs of living, mental and physical health. 'Elements at Bay' invites contemplation on the fragility of our societal expectations and the resilience required to confront the unyielding elements of life.
