About the work

Pigeons Acquire Philosophy depicts three pigeons situated on or near a newspaper stack topped by a fried egg. Pigeons are regarded as a nuisance and are emblematic of the dirty side of the city. The sculpture provides a subtle jab to the corporate culture housed in surrounding commercial high rises and the detritus that is commonly left behind and cultivated by that culture.
