“Nelson”

This hand-blown glass sculpture is available to order in the following colors: Amber, Yellow, & Red. The meerkat didn’t get its name by chance. It stands on its hind legs, surveys its surroundings – and looks strikingly human doing so. A bit like a sentinel. A bit like a neighbor or a curious fellow creature. This watchful gaze seems suspiciously familiar – it’s roughly how we look when the bus is late again. Borowski captured precisely this posture and expression in glass: Nelson , a small, earnest personality with a heart – attentive, social, and so human that you immediately feel a connection to him. Meerkats aren’t solitary creatures. They cuddle in the sun, huddle together, and interact with each other. While one checks to make sure everything is alright, the others enjoy the warmth. While the older ones sunbathe, the younger ones wrestle. There’s probably no one who finds these scenes boring. It’s no wonder meerkats are absolute crowd-pleasers at the zoo
