Capital Lies

In the striking sculpture titled "Capitol Lies," crafted entirely from metal, we encounter a powerful commentary on the intersection of politics and corporate influence. This piece takes the form of a capitol building, with an oil can perched atop, symbolizing the pervasive money interests that often overshadow the ideals of governance. The juxtaposition of the iconic structure with the oil can serves as a stark reminder of the lengths to which elected officials may go to mislead their constituents, prioritizing profit over the public good. Through this provocative representation, "Capitol Lies" invites viewers to reflect on the dynamics of power, the consequences of unchecked influence, and the urgent need for transparency and accountability in our political systems. In its isolation, the sculpture challenges us to confront these critical issues and consider the implications of allowing money to dictate the narrative of governance.
