The signifier: a larger than life, aggressive bronze located
in the financial district.
What is signifies: the aggressive (and potentially
destructive) attitude in the financial arena.
I think that’s the “correct” answer, but I had to do some research
to find it. My own interpretation was a little different. I saw all the same
signifiers, but without realizing the statue was in the financial district. All
I knew was it was in a city. To me, this seemed like an artist’s statement that
people don’t do well stuck in concrete landscapes (bronze casting), but that we
instead need room and freedom to thrive.
