''Monumental Decay'' is a striking meditation on the passage of time and the inevitability of destruction. The towering statue at the center of this surreal scene has been reduced to rubble and ruin, a mere shadow of its former glory. The cloudy sky overhead adds to the sense of desolation and abandonment, as if the world itself has turned its back on this once-proud symbol of human achievement. Through this piece, the artist asks us to confront our own mortality and the fragility of the structures we build to withstand the ravages of time.
