But, looking beyond the twirl of steel, this is one thing you could see, if you wanted. I don't know what it's <i>for</i>, but I like the shape of it nevertheless.

This seemingly infinite and boundless sheet of metal is at the same time a globe, and as seen from this angle, the @ character. Thus, the form symbolises the interconnected world, global ideals of freedom. The material, on the other hand, evokes associations of power and oppression, army tanks and the iron fist that tries to silence and confine those who disagree. By juxtaposing these two worldviews, the artist is making a statement of how fragile, yet indestructable our freedom of speech and thought is. It’s a political statement for freedom of speech.
