Let’s Make A Deal exposes systemic corruption and the complicity that sustains it. Figures trapped in a cage while government officials shake hands above transform political power and social control into symbolic, conceptual sculpture.

The work interrogates the ways societies allow inequality, oppression, and exploitation to flourish under the guise of legitimacy.


The piece questions the role people play in perpetuating injustice. When citizens remain passive or are manipulated to accept inequitable systems, freedom is compromised. True justice requires vigilance and active resistance against structures that exploit the vulnerable.


Through this lens, the sculpture becomes a metaphor for the tension between power and people, and the moral imperative to act for equality.


By emphasizing the stark imbalance between those in control and those confined, Let’s Make A Deal critiques not only political systems but also societal complacency. The work reminds viewers that freedom is fragile, justice is not automatic, and equality must be actively pursued.


Ultimately, the sculpture calls for accountability, urging society to reject oppressive systems and empower people to reclaim autonomy. It is a visual manifesto demanding transparency, fairness, and equity as non-negotiable principles.
