Patina bronze
243.8 x 170 x 16 cm
A public sculpture by Hank Willis Thomas that takes the form of a large Afro pick, standing upright with a clenched Black Power fist as its handle. Cast in bronze, the work is a powerful symbol of cultural pride, political resistance, and solidarity. It references both the history of the Black Power movement and the significance of the Afro pick as an emblem of Black identity. By monumentalizing this everyday object, Thomas invites reflection on issues of race, empowerment, and representation in public space.
