Pride moves man to try to "Display" Nature. In effect, Man tries to take credit for the beauty and the bounty of Nature. He may even try to "improve" on Nature. The results are mixed at best.
The stone is of the same type used in the entire "Man's Nature" series. This type of stone is really ancient coral. The holes are naturally-occuring.
The Steel Frame was forged and welded as a unit. Unlike "Possess - I" and "Control - I", the Frame was given a smooth texture. Each of the legs was engraved with its "Trait". The Title ("Display - I") and Copyright were engraved on the "Pride" leg. Then, the steel was sandblasted, tempered with the torch and given an oil finish.
(The images below show the piece as it is progressively turned clockwise as viewed from above.)
