The sculpture is a fusion of symbolism and irony that captures the viewer’s attention and invites reflection on multiple levels of meaning.

First of all, the gesture of the raised hand with the middle finger raised is universally recognized as a sign of defiance or rebellion, a bold way to send a strong and unequivocal message. Here, this gesture is amplified by the fact that the hand supports the world itself, suggesting a kind of rejection or critique of the world as it is. It is a visual interpretation of frustration or dissent toward aspects of our contemporary world.

The use of this sculpture to represent the world itself, with the Earth resting on the middle finger, adds another layer of meaning. It could be read as a critique of global challenges and socio-political tensions we face, or as a cry of alarm about the planet’s fragility. The hand, in this context, assumes a role of responsibility and power, as if the artist is saying that the solution to these problems lies in our hands.

In its audacity and provocation, this sculpture offers a prompt for discussion and reflection on the contemporary world, the challenges we face, and our role in shaping it. It is a work of art capable of eliciting a wide range of reactions and conversations, just as many contemporary artworks strive to do.

"It is never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
