💛 THE EXPERT'S WORD

Embark on a poignant journey with "I HAD A BLACK DOG," a transcendent automotive collectible that marries artistry with introspection. This magnum opus, crafted in epoxy resin and end grain wood, stands as the pinnacle of Josh creative expression.

In the depths of this masterpiece, a man sits atop a wooden column, his head and arms curled in a protective embrace, adorned with wings - a powerful metaphor for the internal battle against depression. Symbolic elements, such as a car and wings, traditionally representing freedom, coexist with the closed, introspective posture of the central figure, narrating the profound struggle to find liberation within oneself.

The intricately carved facets in the wood add layers of depth, offering a dynamic narrative that evolves as one explores the piece from various angles. From the east, a subtle dog silhouette emerges in the half-light, symbolizing the relentless grip of depression. When viewed from the west, as the sun sets, the word 'Lost' is unveiled, echoing the internal conflicts and moments of despair.

Deliberately working the wood from the end, Joseph Ducrocq sought to reveal its rings - an open book chronicling the highs and lows of life over the years. This entire journey is immortalized in epoxy resin, creating a tangible fusion of emotion and craftsmanship.

"I HAD A BLACK DOG" transcends traditional automotive collectibles, inviting gentlemen drivers to engage with the profound intersection of art and elegance. It stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, an invitation to reflect on the transformative power of creativity and the intricate dance between light and shadow in our daily lives.
