Sculptor Matthias Verginer really captures the very essence of our human existence; we are all just fat naked people trying to jump over large animals. This is life: some big hairy obstacle in our way as we try to pommel vault ourselves up and over to see what's on the other side, and hopefully better our existence all while having the world look at us and judge.

 and we find a way to wrangle them

or perhaps we just decide to make peace with the fact we may just be too fat to get over the obstacle and make friends with it instead.
