Even from the "better angle" it's still creepy AF.

It’s like the arms are holding a giant turd.


I reality, I bet the artist got paid by the statues weight

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.

They should have included the heads in the sculpture.

Are they sure that’s Coretta or one of MLK‘s many white mistresses?

Why do you disparage him like that? Would you say something similar of any of our Founders, about whom it’s just as valid?

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.

It is a complete double standard. There is nothing "unique" about that

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


We have a different skill set today, making statues that are realistic takes a different skill.
