The Weight of Modern Existence
Urban Bust is a powerful bronze portrait that captures the complexity of contemporary life. This striking male bust bears a horizontal beam across its shoulders—reminiscent of Atlas carrying the world—laden with turquoise-accented gears, a small suspended globe, and the infinity symbol. The face conveys quiet dignity and contemplation, its weathered features suggesting accumulated wisdom. The torso erupts with organic and mechanical elements: leaves, flowers, gears, and colorful accents emerge from the bronze flesh, symbolizing the modern human as a nexus of nature and technology. Turquoise cables trace down the neck like stylized veins. At 138 pounds and 22 inches tall, this substantial piece makes a dramatic statement about the burdens and beauties of urban existence.
