This is a statue of an important man (I know not who). Once it would have stood on a pedestal but somehow it has been toppled and now it rests ingloriously on the earth, the head spattered with purple fruit. Is there a moral to this? Is it an allusion to the impermanence of life and the transience of worldly glory? Or just a snap of the bust of an armless man?
It would put a whole different spin on it if the subject of the statue turned out to be a great benefactor, or just a generally good guy.
ReplyDeletePretty sure he was a writer.
