Markhor

The Markhor goat is the National Animal of my neighbouring state of Pakistan. The comeback of this majestic animal from the brink of extinction is indeed a great success story of animal conservation. The sheer beauty of this animal and its majestic nature is what drew me to sculpt it in Bronze. The material choice is one of permanence in keeping with the significance of artwork and hoping this beautiful animal thrives for generations to come.Upon further research, I found the significance and symbolism of mountain goats. Mountain goats represent goals to be reached of newer and greater heights. The famous phrase, “the sky is the limit” is therefore most fitting here.
