Survival of the fattes
Artist: Jens Galschiot, http://sevenmeters.net/
The sculpture ’Survival of the fattest’ is a symbol of the rich worlds (i.e. the fat woman, ‘Justicia’) self-complacent ‘righteousness’. With a pair of scales in her hand she sits on the back of starved African man (i.e. the third world), while pretending to do what is best for him.
