Known for his distinctive style and heartwarming subject matter, Mackenzie's latest creation is just that... "Stronger Together," depicts a duffle character and loyal canine companion standing side by side, sheltering under a symbolic red heart.
The sculpture is a celebration of the special bond that can exist between humans and animals. The two of them depicted as equals, with the figure proudly holding the stem of a tall heart covering them both with love. The sense of closeness and mutual support between the two is palpable and touching.
As its name suggests, "Stronger Together" also carries a message of unity and resilience. In a world where people can often feel disconnected and alone, the sculpture is a reminder that we are all stronger when we come together and support one another.
The centerpiece of the sculpture is the oversized heart held by the duffle character. The stem of the heart is intricately crafted, while the heart itself is painted in Mackenzie's signature soft, warm red that evokes a feeling of comfort and joy. The heart symbolizes the deep and enduring connection that exists between the duffle character and his dog, as well as the bond that unites all of us as human beings.
