People Against Adversity
People Against Adversity
“The monument People Against Adversity was inspired by New York’s heroic response to Hurricane Sandy. But it uses the hurricane only as a starting point. People Against Adversity is a very large multi-media sculpture, which tells the story of people’s response to a threat in a progressive theater of three-acts. It juxtaposes people and water as foes, plays out the power of people’s togetherness and leads to their glorious victory. The monument is not only a symbol for any powerful natural element, which we must overcome and use in order to survive. It is also a metaphor for any other phenomenon that tears us apart, inflames hatred and bigotry, frays our moral fabric and threatens our existence as a society. As such, People against Adversity is no longer connected to any specific event. It becomes timeless”. Artist’s Statement, 2021 A Theater in Three Acts
