ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:

Casey’s bronze sculpture of a pangolin is a not-for-profit piece as she wants to spread the message “Planet before profit. Mother nature needs us to help protect our natural world“. When the pangolin is frightened he rolls up into a ball to protect himself, which makes this unassuming creature an easy target for poachers who can just pick him up and pop him in a bag.
