Behold 'Immigrant of the World,' a striking ode to the tenacity and resilience of those who have shaped nations with their bare hands and boundless dreams.

Eleven men, stoically seated upon a colossal bean, reminiscent of the iconic image capturing the indomitable spirit of the ironworkers crafting the Rockefeller Building (New York) in 1923, Mini figure created for the famous Sergio Furnari, with my collaboration an personal touch of the colorful art world…

Each figure embodies the essence of countless immigrants who have labored tirelessly, their diverse backgrounds interwoven into the fabric of America and beyond. Through a lens of pop-art whimsy, this sculpture celebrates not just the past, but the perpetual evolution sparked by the constant influx of new ideas, cultures, and aspirations. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who have dared to dream, build, and redefine what it means to be part of a global tapestry.
