"Sea Lion" (granite) (1943) possesses a concise and powerful life form. He skillfully utilizes the natural grain of the granite itself, resembling the water ripples just as a sea lion leaps from the water, making it vivid and lifelike, showcasing the vitality of the universe and the beauty of harmony. Brancusi wrote: "Simplicity is not the aim of art, but one arrives at simplicity in spite of oneself, as one approaches the real sense of things. That beauty is absolute balance."
