Are we moving away from statues of people since so many statues of people are being torn down?

It's way better than the usual copper and lead mini sculptures that fly around constantly on all MLK streets around the country.

Is there an angle you are supposed to look at this sculpture? It looks bad in every photo I’ve seen.

I know the bar for public art is extremely low…but usually it’s not this bad.

It looks like hands holding a giant turd or dong. That is a terrible sculpture.

To paraphrase the scene from the animated movie "bad guys" ..." You have to appreciate art from multiple angles"

It does look odd until you find the photo that it's based on.

Maybe it will grow on us. (No Viagra reference intended.)

My initial thoughts when seeing the image of it were, a large eye of round roast, that the sculptor was a Henry Moore not-a-be, or a memory of my younger self.

Sculpture does not always translate or emote without seeing it in person and walking around it, the Flamingo , or under or through if possible.

The same with paintings. Just do not go though it.

Ain't no way that shite is better than any statue of any confederate solider. Jesus these statues never seem to work out for black Americans.

Statues for me but not for thee. Only democrat statues are allowed.
