Homelessness in the City
Throughout the sculptures, both have a sense of homelessness that makes the viewer ponder and wonder how they got to that point. Starting off with the base, the choice of covering the wood with an Amazon box was to show and represent the amount of money that Amazon makes and that they are not willing to do anything to help. Both figures are shown to have cracks all over them as a sign of their brokenness and helplessness in society today. Moving to the sculpture on the left, the figure has a blanket in a dark orange to provide the dark feeling of homelessness as well as to show that the only things with color were the things given to them. The penny that he is holding as well signifies the feeling that the penny to them is like a thousand dollars and it means all the world to them. Finally, moving to the figure on the right has no essence of color on or around them to represent the winter months of being cold and having to cover themselves.
