The sculptor Brower Hatcher has created a project known as “A Layering of Worlds,” an arch formed by five layers of painted stainless steel mesh. Suspended within the mesh are 35 sculpted bronze and aluminum objects that symbolize the history and culture of Phoenix. One of those objects is a red metal figure of an upside down falling man. My image juxtaposes this helpless symbolic figure against part of a commercial skyline. A round white cloud floats over the tallest office building in Phoenix, implying serenity and wellbeing. Yet Hatcher’s red figure tumbles within a complex cage of steel before it – symbolizing a world currently being turned upside down by economic stress and dislocation.
