it’s decor now. Let’s not pretend it’s not.
But yeah, obviously, for a lot of people it’s just… an elephant. You can buy one at Target. They’re everywhere. Tiny ones. Gold ones. Minimalist gray ones. It’s become one of those design things people pick up without really knowing why, just that it “feels good.” Like, the kind of thing you add to your cart with throw pillows and a candle you’ll never light.
And that’s fine. No shade. Not everything has to be a sacred act. Sometimes you just think, “This makes my porch feel less sad.” That’s enough of a reason.
But then you end up with a statue that’s maybe accidentally channeling ancient energy principles and now your house is protected from demons and you didn’t even mean to do that. Oops.
So what does it mean, really? I don’t know. But also, I kind of do.
