Obese Pigeon

This bronze sculpture is a larger-than-life obese pigeon, a symbolic portrayal of the city's growth and
expansion.  Rather than the reputed bacterial scruff, I imagined a charmingly gigantic pigeon adorned
with magnificent plumage.  I used the pigeon for its iconic association to the urban environment.  In its
stance it holds both hubris and humility, its overbearing size a direct reflection of its city’s
immoderation.
