In any case, for those of you who need an explanation, think along the lines of my own sculpture of Eve(a mannequin mind you) playing the part of Lady Liberty(America as it sees itself), self professed defender of Christianity and democracy, severely crippled(notice the wonderful shape of the pair of antique homemade children crutches), very myopic(if not legally blind), arms and legs wide open, still trying to lead the world, stick in one hand, carrot in the other(Chinese money, billions of dollars we lavish on other countries when they could be much better used at home). I will leave it to you to decide whether she is being raped and pillaged, or just a consenting partner enjoying playing with death(close to a million just in Irak and Afghanistan so far, and counting, including almost 8000 American kids she sent there to die for nothing else but greed). The ammonite and lump of fossilized baby dinosaur dung in the foreground represent fossil fuels, the main reason behind all those death, the others being the arm manufacturers and merchants(the biggest is our very own Pentagon) symbolized by the offensive hand grenade, the greed of our elites symbolized by the coins, and extremist islamic terrorism symbolized by the kriss and the knife.
The plumb bob hanging over her head, an old masonic symbol of rectitude, integrity and honesty can be seen as symbolic of the current distressing lack of these particular virtues in today's world of business and politics, but also as the Sword of Damocles hanging over her head...The watch hanging from a skull mala on her right wrist is ticking, the "weaner" bracelet on her left wrist should be used to wean us from the mother oil cow. One of the Tibetan Kapalas bear a dancing skeleton, the other a Sauwastika(a symbol of good luck, just as the Swastika was before it's association with Nazis). Hope you are not offended by the South headed circumcised limp wooden penis, actually not a dildoe, but a fine antique fertility symbol from the Naga Tribes of India. Let it mean for you whatever strikes your fancy, our impotence facing the problems at hand, or the seemingly generalized impotence of the American male consuming now millions of Viagra pills...Toads lurking in the shadows are doing fine though.
Last but not least, at the head of the cross, instead of the usual I.N.R.I. plaque(for those who do not remember what the letters mean, it was meant as a joke, meaning "Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews"), there is a chinese document, symbolizing China waiting in the wings, loaning us money we can't afford to borrow, buying up pieces of America, and waiting for the big crash we are headed to, because of the greed, demagoguery and shameless lies of a few(our real leaders), and the stupidity and gullibility of the rest of us. Last minute touch, the two dominoes reading 666.
