Enigma Echo (Secret Copy) Culture Clash

Culture Clash is no secret. The world is shrinking. There are few places for cultures to escape the shifting wave of humanity that is moving across the globe at a rapid pace. Colonialism has always nurtured the culture of cheap labor for economic reasons and by doing so now face an embedded and rapidly developing diverse landscape of humanity that bump up against the status quo of western culture. This sculpture is symbolic of two such cultures of East vs. West.

A hooded action figure stands across from the military garbed warrior who is bearing the logo of Walmart on his backpack. An antique fishing lure (fly) complete with hook and weapon is in the warriors left hand. This hooded figure is bearing the burden of their child while going into battle. The child is symbolic of a future warrior, offspring; population growth which is shifting the balance of power from weapon warfare to the strategy of population power. A halo of feathers encircle the infants body

The playing field (game board) in the case is the faulty Y2K Intel chip that was removed from Harkrader's computer prior to January 1, 2000 (y2k). The Intel chip is mounted on a turned brass pedestal. The chip covered with over 400 gold plated connection points, other computer chips that are symbolic to 'time'. The game board, the cube and the hands of each warrior is embedded with seven Swarovski crystals from Switzerland.
