About the Work
Shame captures the weight of human turmoil in physical form. The figure bows his head to his hands, grounding his anguish through his sword. For Peterson, this pose reflects the ongoing battle between self-awareness and the pressures of external forces.
As conflict builds, shame emerges, yet always with the possibility of redemption. Starting from an intimate sketch, Peterson worked with specialist artisans to translate his vision into a 3D model, which was then carefully resin-cast. The result is a sculpture that speaks to the fragility and resilience of the human condition.

The Artist’s Words
Within this feeling of shame lives the potential for transformation, looming between redemption and suffering. Shame acts as a catalyst, defining our internal morality, and we move on to a place of change or destruction. Cleon Peterson
Why Collectors Should Pay Attention
Time-limited releases with edition sizes determined after the ordering window can become important reference points for collectors. Shame stands out as a sculptural extension of Peterson’s visual language, moving his themes of conflict, morality, violence, and consequence into a physical object.
