In the sculptor's
words... Persona Invulneribilius - This
sculpture depicts more of a state of mind than anything else. Years ago, I was asked
"If you could be any animal, what would you be?" After some contemplation, I
answered " A rhinoceros." Why? Because a rhinoceros will single-mindedly charge
straight ahead and is powerful, thick skinned, all qualities essential in my chosen
profession. "Dragon Wannabe" captures this sentiment in a simple and elegant
metaphor. A man imbedded in his persona of scaly protection. On the other hand, if a man
is to keep his humanity he must be willing to stay emotionally vulnerable. My
Wannabe is in bare feet. Your walk through life must be done with care and consideration.
