MOAI

⠀"Moʻai or moai are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island in eastern Polynesia between the years 1250 and 1500. ⠀
⁣The moʻai are monolithic statues, their minimalist style reflective of forms found throughout Polynesia. Moʻai is carved from volcanic ash. The human figures would be outlined in the rock wall first, then chipped away until only the image was left." ⠀

Did you like the combo of the positive and negative space in the statue? I'd love to hear your thoughts. ⠀😁
