Silent Thought, Ricky the Chimp Lamp

Limited Edition Bronze by Geoffrey C. Smith
 
Ricky, a once-exploited circus chimpanzee, now quietly lights up the room—both literally and emotionally. This bronze sculpture-turned-lamp captures Ricky in a moment of deep reflection, his hands folded and gaze softened by memory. After a life of performance, Ricky found sanctuary at Save the Chimps in Fort Pierce, Florida, where he was finally allowed to live in peace. The lamp’s warm glow casts light not only on his form but on his story—a story of resilience, healing, and dignity restored. A portion of proceeds supports the sanctuary that gave Ricky his freedom. Silent Thought Lamp brings compassion into the spotlight.
