Sic Transit Gloria Mundi (1999 - 2011)

CONFLUX ~ A Union of the Sacred and Anonymous (sculpture display by Sean Henry inside and outside the Salisbury Cathedral)
SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI (1999-2011)
This work shows two figures separated by a flight of steps.
From some angles the higher figure appears slightly superior as he gazes down on the second man, but it is unclear who is more self-aware.
The sculpture raises questions about who we are, and about looking and being looked at.
Bronze, wood, mineral paint, oil paint, 80 x 166 x 221cm.

T minus 165....

Canon EOS 40D
1/40s f/3.5 at 30.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

The man looking looking out seems to be deep in thought or puzzled. I wonder if he knows of the man behind looking down at him. A terrific sculpture and the point of view you selected brings it too us with all of its thought provoking intensity. V
