The sculpture is a combination of symbolism and irony that captures the viewer's attention and pushes them to reflect on various 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 of sending a strong and unequivocal message. Here, this gesture is amplified by the fact that the hand supports the world itself, suggesting a sort of rejection or critique of the world as it is. It is a visual interpretation of the frustration or dissent towards 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 interpreted as a critique of global challenges and socio-political tensions we face, or as a cry of alarm about the fragility of our planet. The hand, in this context, takes on a role of responsibility and power, almost as if the artist is saying that the solution to these problems lies in our hands.

In its boldness and provocation, this sculpture offers a prompt for discussion and reflection on the contemporary world, on the challenges we face and our role in shaping it. It is a work of art that can generate a wide range of reactions and discussions, just as many contemporary artworks seek to do.

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