In this etching a pangolin moves quietly through the night, its luminous scales emergingfrom a dark field scattered with star-like crosses. The creature appears to navigate thedarkness either by following the stars above or the hidden trails of termites below.The repeated crosses evoke both constellations and the symbol “X marks the spot,”suggesting a moment of discovery. Moving instinctively through the dark, the pangolinhas found precisely what it was searching for. The work reflects themes of intuition,quiet persistence, and the ability to locate meaning or sustenance even withinuncertainty and shadow.
