"Despair" is a poignant sculpture that depicts a dejected and despondent young man in a slumped semi-reclining pose, conveying a profound sense of hopelessness and burden. The piece was sculpted in a 5-week life class using a knife instead of the usual sculpting tools.

The sculpture captures the weight of the world on the shoulders of the figure, as his posture reflects the heaviness of his emotions and the anguished expression on the young man's face tells a story of inner turmoil and anguish, inviting viewers to empathize with his struggle and despair.

The posture of the man in the sculpture evokes a sense of deep emotional pain and vulnerability. The semi-reclining pose enhances the feeling of exhaustion and resignation, as if the young man is overwhelmed by the challenges he faces.
