It is a peculiar monument to a desperate fella trapped in a cycle, something like: Work/ Pub/TV. At the same time, there can be a critical mass of such “fellas” within society. This could lead to problems in a neighborhood, city, or even a state (depending on the scale), through their exploitation caused by a lack of education, passivity, and consequently, a lack of critical thinking and an inability to adapt to a rapidly changing world, every one of us could be shuch a fella sometime. But it is not so much the fault of people, as it is the environment in which they grow up. When a person has to work all day just to earn dayly bread, where would initiative come from? Yet where does such an environment itself come from? It is a question like: “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

 I am not able to answer - only to observe.

The archetypal figure of the worker, accompanying humanity throughout its entire existence, represents all the people who spend most of their lives working and commuting to work. He existed in the past, exists in the present, and I am certain he will remain with us in the future. What interests me is whether humanity will ever evolve enough for the majority of the population not to have to live this way.

A gigantic figure seated on a throne appears, at first glance, to be very powerful. Motionless and unceasingly, he consumes information from the television. The throne is a symbol of his power and might, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that he has clung to it for so long that the two have become one.

After years of consuming information from the screen, the figure has grown rigid and indifferent, losing the ability to think critically. This destroys his soul. In the end, all that remains is a large but cracked shell.
