I love public art! This second set of public sculptures focuses on pieces that make us think by employing their settings to comment upon or evoke a satirical view of life.

Love love love! They are all so amazing! That bird trying to carry the man, that baby touching the statue’s face….that man sitting on one side with his legs on the other holding his hands down to save the woman….definitely astonishing 👏🏽

Check out Michelangelo’s Titan Slaves. They too are emerging from the marble but made in the 1520s.
