​

False Sense of Self depicts a fierce tiger’s head fused with a tree trunk and its feet, symbolizing the grotesque outcome of an individual’s deep identification with the mind and thoughts as their sense of self. A signature material choice of the artist, the lustrous metal bud represents the emergence and blossoming of new consciousness, while the solid wood structure alludes to lingering habits and primal instincts.
