Coconut sculpted in a face The picture selected can be in the form of the either a sculpture or a painting. The painting is named as coconut sculpted into a face made by Paul Gauguin and falling under the post Impressionistic domain of paintings. It is a brown colored painting having carvings into it. Basically it is a coconut into which a face is crafted in and the eyes protrude from the coconut giving it a lively form (Campbell, 2001).. This should be used as a sculpture to be put on the side table in the main waiting hall near the reception. It can add to the beauty of the place with a decent brown color and innovative concept.

The significance of this painting is that people can have freedom to pursue their personal interest and carry forward their hobbies on their personal terms. Every person has an opportunity to pursue any hobby irrespective of the position of the employee in the company.
