Consider the context

This cougar lives in down­town Boul­der, Col­orado. He is a very active guy, as fixed sculp­tures go.

The artist did not con­sider the whole... the base is very high-tech, while the cougar is very hand-done-showing-the-artist’s-touch.

Take­away: Con­sider the frame for what you are pre­sent­ing. It could dis­tract from your message.
