The character's head is large. He sits in judgment. The artists vainly used his own likeness. His torch is small, dwarfed by the ego of the sleepy eyed man wielding said flame. This singular golden highlight doing little to distract from it's drab nature.
Onlookers struggle to advert their eyes as they pass by the solemn vestige. It sits in the shadows of towering structures much older than itself, adding little to the decor, unable to signify meaning of it's own. There is no plaque in memorandum of any particular events. It is in fact ugly, and distasteful. Not something fit for display.
What in fact is the artist trying to tell us here? What does it tell us of the "BLM" movement? Is this the ugly truth the masses refuse to see? And just as important to ask, is this the imagery the artist intended, or were his hands guided by another.
Supposedly the artist is a black guy named Sanford Biggers. Some anons have suggested his son may have helped him
