a 46 foot tall monolith composed of 121 sculpted human bodies of all ages and sexes rises alarmingly into the sky. the crowded, grappling bodies reminds me of the Buddhist term 'samsara' or the the pain and suffering of the living, each figure eternally trapped yet attempting to escape to freedom by climbing over the others to reach the top... it's both alarming in nature and philosophy and yet a wondrous sight to behold and ponder
