Sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This work seems to challenge traditional conventions and expectations of art, blending ancient and modern elements in a surprising context.

The choice to depict a spinario, a subject typical of classical art, in such an unusual and contemporary context suggests a reflection on our current culture and our relationship with the past. The use of Nike or Balenciaga and the scene of poop removal can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world.

The work seems to aim at provoking a reaction in the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and deeper meaning. Ultimately, this contemporary sculpture appears to be a bold commentary on modern society, its obsession with consumption, and its relationship with history and tradition.
