"Death of the Ferryman"

There's a swamp in some property I have up in the north woods, and I would love to have this sculpture in it. The figure represents the "ferryman," apparently a subject of Hindu legend:

The ferryman’s craft lies dead in the water. He can no longer reach the ‘other’ shore. Unable to touch, he dies... For a human to stay alive, i.e. to be real, conscious and joyful (i.e. self-realized), she must continuously touch or be touched. Only an ‘other’ can touch. The human who tries to stand still, who tries to hold, decays and dies.

This sculpture is from a collection at the Indian Sculpture Park at Victoria's Way in Ireland. The park also includes many portrayals of Ganesh, and also has a "Creation Gate" (left).
