Curatorial Description:
Kiribank is a one-of-a-kind handmade sculpture that merges rustic tradition with expressive modernity. Sculpted in clay to form a rounded feline head, this kitty bank transcends utility, becoming a symbolic guardian of daily savings. The base, constructed from repurposed plastic and layered with textured acrylic strokes, serves as a podium—elevating the cat both physically and spiritually. This piece is more than a coin container; it’s a celebration of handmade art, sustainability, and German Expressionist energy. Raw textures, bold color traces, and playful volume make Kiribank a statement of warmth and intentional living.
