Sculpture: No One Can Save Us

"No One Can Save Us" by Eric Foenander and Steve Lawler

On display at the Future Proof exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum

This piece is a response to the title of the 2012 show Future Proof set in Singapore Art Museum. According to Mojoko, "it's a comment on global warming. The fact that the superhero is melting gives us little hope for the future. ... People normally react by laughing, then taking photos of themselves in front of it, then they say, 'It's melting because its too hot in Singapore.' Which is kind of the correct reaction."

The public artwork presents us with a gentle reminder of the gradual decline of hope. It is made of polystyrene, Plaster of Paris, and plastic paint. It took three people six weeks to create.
