New print - Pele the Benevolent - Tiki Carving

Is it anguish, realizing that he himself is on fire? Is it awe that comes with witnessing the power of hot, flowing lava? Perhaps Joy at seeing the world (which he might have hated) destroyed? Is he glad to be twisted so he doesn't have to face the source and the brunt force of the destruction? Or is he trying to twist so he can accept the full fury of destruction face-to-face as a true tiki would? Or is it simply an inanimate wood carving, with no anthropomorphic sense of feelings or attributes at all? Don't tell us, Raffertiki - I much prefer the mystique of it all! Vern
