The Killing of a Society: Queen

Title

Description

A tall steel beam stands with a rounded, red metal grill attached to the top resembling a head. Attached to the grill are four plates, arranged to form two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Two small poles are attached to the sides as ears, sticking outward from the head. Halfway down the beam, two steel hubcaps are attached to either side with a chain draped across them. Two hubcaps are also placed at the base of the beam, unattached, but linked with a separate steel pole. All steel objects utilized in the piece are heavily oxidized. A semi-circle of gray cement bricks surrounds the base of structure, with a group of red bricks arranged in the shape of a cross and a red brick stepping stone placed in the center.
