Statue Tears of Africa - Limited Edition 1/6 Statue

[intothevoid]

I came across this today on Facebook.

The artist is Jang Jae Jin, a junior friend of Denny Kim (of Iminime).

Limited 20pcs worldwide with signed certificate.
Here is the artist' words (excuse the rough translation)

"A few years ago, I went to Mongol that has suffered from desertification over the entire nation. The words from a animal husbandary who I met accidentally were stuck in my brain after the journey.

He said: 'plants cannot survive when the land is barren and it will cause a serious threat to animals to lose their lives too. It will lead human beings to be unable to make a living eventually.'

At that time, there was a documentary film about the tears of Afria on TV in Korea and I started moving my hands for this work to deliver my message with my best effort to people in my way.

"Save the Earth!"

There is still enormous numbers of lives being dead with the wrong consciousness and an attitude of indifference of societies.

We must realize the issue and do our best to live together in the Earth.
I really hope to protect the environment and save the lives that have been collapsed somewhere in Africa."

I think it looks stunning and carries a powerful message

Not really what I would want on display though, but maybe that's just me.

I'd love to have it, but doubt I can budget for it.

It obviously doesn't belong next to 1/6 Batman and Iron Man figures.

 

[sarakawa]

Wow that is a beautiful piece. If it were bigger I would consider it.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

That is very moving

No, not just you. I appreciate its value, but I would feel depressed whenever I saw it.

I can't say... what I want to say...

Very sad. I wouldn't want something like that on display.

I can not...

 

[Star Puffs]

That is a stunning and evocative piece of art. I mean it genuinely too good for a pop culture forum, but I am glad you shared it all the same.

 

[Hydeous]

Very touching story behind this art sculpture.

 

[wanderlai]

good lord that's depressing....but true.

I think i know maybe..i don't see anywhere mentioning the proceeds going to help the people, this just makes someone money using a poor situation as a selling point.

how much is it? it doesn't say anywhere

As per Denny's request - You have to contact Denny Kim via the email address I provided to get a price

It's more of a museum type piece than a toy collectible which we normally discuss in this forum, so I can understand the reasons for keeping the price private.

Please don't discuss the price in the open board once it is provided to you.

Also - I don't know whether any proceeds are going towards helping the cause, I haven't asked - agree it would be a good gesture.

My thoughts exactly, Joseph.

I don't see a problem with that.
