Homage to the F.A.O.
# 63 (20in/50cm)
Created for a contest in homage of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (F.A.O.), this sculpture represents the sharing of the Earth’s riches.
Four figures of different races, a man, a woman, a child and an angel, are standing back to back; each is holding an offering of food: an apple, fish or wheat. In the middle, the angel, fist in the air in a pose similar to that of Marianne of the French Revolution (because the distribution of riches requires a revolution), brandishes a wheat sheaf, symbol of sharing and offering. The entire sculpture is resting on the child’s legs, reminding us that the future is dependent upon youth.
