I saw this statue recently and it really caught my eye. Both artistically and intellectually. It's a really powerful sculpture. I generally prefer finished works of art, but then that would defeat the point that the artist, Albin Polasek, was trying to make. This is entitled Man Carving His Own Destiny.
Before I saw the placard with the actual name, I thought it was something along the lines of Self-Made Man.
Which got me thinking. Can we really be self-made? Can we carve out our own destinies?
