"A metaphor about the challenges of human intimacy, the hedgehog's dilemma describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs seek to move close to one another to share heat during cold weather. They must remain apart, however, as they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp spines. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur, for reasons they cannot avoid." Animated acrylic painting (20 x 20 in). The physical painting comes with the sale, is linked to the NFT through an NFC tag, and is viewable through AR on Artivive.
