Civilize the Universe
Expanded steel, iron

On permanent display in Newpaltz, NY. Portrayed are two life-size figures, one reaching up for help while the other obliges. The top figure recognizes a need from the lower figure who is stuck in a quagmire shown here as movement within the expanded steel. They reach over from their place of overcomed obstacles to pull the other up with them. When we are in a position to help others, we should. This is what it means to be civilized.
