This is "The Tower." It's my newest piece, made over the weekend based off of the oil drilling tower structures made around the turn of the century and symbolizes a variety of things from brute strength, to the industrial revolution, to the "oil era" and everything involved with that idea. It is supposed to be a symbol of power, superiority, and in some regards tyrannical rule. Like an ancient monolith, celebrating the Gods for their kindness, "The Tower" praises current man and his perceived dominion over nature...notice the "aura" of power only extends so far, and the reign only so long...
