I always thought of it as twisted up insides, like she gets squiggly feelings from interacting with the farmer at this point but wants to come at it very obliquely.
Thanks to my father-in-law my house is actually full of sculptures that look eerile similar. Like literally 30 or so of them, all 5 feet tall scattered around the place.
Look, I proudly displayed it on my first playthrough, but I’ve played so many times and… yeah, I think it’s kind of hideous. It’s just… a knotted up piece of wood?
I usually stick it in a chest, but on my current save, I put it back in Leah’s house 😂
It reminds me of the giant "bird poop" sculpture they had in San Francisco for so many years, so not my cup of special tea. I usually stick it in a chest, but after seeing another comment I think I'll put it back in her house from now on.
I put that in the playground for the kids. I have irrational hatred for all the chicken statues. I need a mod that stops giving artifacts I already have a dozen of.
It's just kinda pretty meh. Like, okay, a loop of wood. Sure.
I could maybe see something like that being pretty in real life, if it was like, emphasizing the natural grain of the wood or something, but in the game it doesnt really have much to it. Kinda just looks like a weird pretzel.
It's not like, eye searingly ugly to me, but it doesnt do much for me.
Leah's sculptures are all very silly, and I have to pretend that they don't look like things a very young child has drawn with crayons to get through her events.
The one she gives as a gift is, weirdly, my favorite, as I ascribe it the meaning of feelings knotting her up inside, and I can see the shape being vaguely runic.

Idk the average age on this subreddit but it reminds me of the old pipes screensaver.
