Humankind

As humanity expands into the cosmos and evolves beyond its present form, the foundations of civilization will remain essential. In HUMANKIND, the smaller astronauts cling to the head of a larger figure, expressing cooperation and mutual dependence. The larger astronaut represents the metaphorical foundation on which civilization rests, while the smaller figures embody a future built upon that foundation. Beyond Earth, humanity’s progress will depend not only on exploration and discovery, but also on the ability to share knowledge, sustain collective life and build upon what previous generations have established. The sculpture envisions a future in which humanity’s expansion into space is accompanied by the formation of an interconnected cosmic civilization.
