It serves as a metaphor for how cities + often undergo superficial makeovers, painted to create an illusion of + renewal. In doing so, they suffocate the old culture and personality that + once defined them. This piece was constructed with repurposed sheet metal, + sawzall blades, and illuminated from within to capture the viewer's + attention while hinting at the underlying themes of neglect and waste in a + bustling city. It embodies the discarded materials that litter our + environment and a reminder that we shape our community's image through our + actions. My goal is for the sculpture to foster awareness of the + importance of proper waste disposal, encouraging construction workers and + citizens alike to leave no trace behind, ultimately inspiring us all to + protect and improve the world we share. + main: /media/detritus3.jpg + year: 2024 + gallery: + - image: /media/detritus3.jpg + - image: /media/detritus1.jpg + - image: /media/detritus2.jpg + - image: /media/detritus5.jpg + - image: /media/detritus4.jpg + - image: /media/detritus6.jpg + - image: /media/detritus8.jpg + - image: /media/detritus9.jpg --- Introducing **Ian Gallo**, a metal sculpture artist who is rapidly making a name for himself through his unique approach to metalworking.
