This figurine came about because I regularly saw / see someone passing by ( in the street were I live), while walking his dog. Useally looking at his mobile phone while he is walking! Sometimes I fantasize that he steps in a dog turd, preferably his own dog's! It is also a kind of "portrait" of modern man, many of whom just like him look at their (mobile) phone during all kinds of activities and pay no attention to what is around them!
