Paul made Cactus Man (Barrel Cactus), as a variation on the Cactus Man theme. The barrel cactus is shorter and rounder than the stately Saguaro cactus. The sculpture shows a man morphing into a barrel cactus (or a barrel cactus morphing into a man) blurring the line between man and nature, and reminding us of the beauty of the world around us.
Similar to the original Cactus Man, the patina suggests green tones of cacti found in the Sonoran Desert.
