A sculpture of a humanoid figure with a spiked crown, holding a small globe, set against an abstract, painted background.

LIBERTY LAMENTING THE WORLD

This collaborative sculpture reimagines the character M from Rocket Rascals as a faceless, decayed soldier burdened with the weight of the world within its chest. Crowned with fractured spikes that echo the Statue of Liberty, the figure embodiesboth the longing for home and the erosion of ideals once tied to freedom and democracy. Chains reference bondage and forgotten promises of liberation, while the missing torch and weary posture suggest defeat and abandonment. Simultaneously fragile and resilient, the work questions where notions of home, belonging, and human responsibility toward Earth can be found in a fractured, post- apocalyptic present.
