£6,000 Sculpture Sparks Outrage for Resembling a Giant 'Poop Emoji'
A 4.5-meter sculpture in Chichester, UK, has become the talk of the town—and not for the right reasons. Commissioned for £6,000, the willow-branch creation was meant to resemble a delicate sea snail, but locals are calling it a colossal failure, comparing it to a 'giant poop emoji.' Criticism has poured in, with many branding it a waste of public funds. Could this be the most controversial sculpture in recent memory? Dive into the uproar surrounding this bizarre installation!
A £6,000 sculpture in Chichester, located in the West Sussex county of South East England, has drawn criticism from residents.
The Periwinkle Shelter sculpture was designed to mimic a tiny sea snail. However, the 4.5-meter-tall sculpture, woven from willow branches, has been widely regarded as a wasteful expenditure.
Resembling a "giant poop emoji," the sculpture has left viewers baffled.
According to The Sun, the sculpture was unveiled at the Earnley Viewpoint in the Medmerry Nature Reserve and has been a hot topic among the public since last week. The controversial structure remains on display.
This perplexing Periwinkle Shelter sculpture, made from Sussex willow, was created by local artists Rebecca and Mark Ford of Two Circles Design.
It was inspired by archaeological findings in the area during conservation work, where a sea snail was discovered among the remnants of a medieval fish basket. The sculpture was intended to reflect the region's Bronze and Medieval Age history.
Commissioned by Chichester District Council, the sculpture was accompanied by an official statement.
Councillor John Cross described it as a captivating piece telling a story inspired by archaeological excavations. These excavations unearthed remnants of a circular Bronze Age roundhouse and cemeteries dating back to 100 BCE, extending into the Medieval era.
However, the public sees the sculpture as a waste of taxpayer money and has harshly criticized it. One notable remark stated:
'The idea of marking the South Coast's rich coastal heritage with a giant poop emoji is hilarious. But considering the current levels of raw sewage in the sea, it might actually be perfectly appropriate.'
