Description
From Up Here The World Was Beautiful presents an endangered rhino poised atop two separate piles of vividly colored rocks, a position that is both majestic and precarious. The rhino, a symbol of strength, endurance, and the natural world under threat, is elevated above the ground yet denied stability, balancing on fragmented foundations that suggest a planet fractured by human impact. The bright, varied colors of the rocks evoke the beauty, diversity, and richness of Earth, while their separation emphasizes imbalance and uncertainty. Seen “from up here,” the world may appear beautiful, but the rhino’s strained stance reveals the hidden cost of that beauty—ecosystems pushed to the edge, supported by unstable systems. The sculpture captures the tension between admiration and responsibility, reminding viewers that what appears visually stunning may still be dangerously close to collapse.
