Cascade, 2010

This Sculpture commissioned by Sculpture International Rotterdam depicts eighteen stacked oil drums, which appear to descend from the sky like a waterfall. Combined with a syrupy mass, shapes of a score of human figures. Anonymous beings in dramatic poses climb up the robust contours of oil drums with their limp and formless figures. Melted together as a single whole to form a monumental column. The sculpture evokes associations with the current economic crisis, the exhaustion of raw materials and the bankruptcy of the consumer society.
