This series of three geometrical sculptures each represent different types of societies, and are organized into :
“Upper-Lower” two primary social classes: upper-class and lower-class. The result is an unbalanced construction that threatens to topple over. The aluminum structure is powder coated in grey paint, which expresses the murkiness of such a societal construction. According to Rad Hourani, this type of economical segregation is shady and can only be negative for any society.
“Upper-Middle-Lower” three primary social classes: upper-class, middle-class and lower-class. Rad Hourani powder coated this work in black as this colour encloses all colours of the spectrum.
“Upper-Middle” two primary social classes: upper-class and middle-class. The work is powder coated in silver paint to suggest the wealth such a society would possess. In the neutral society envisioned by Rad Hourani, wealth would be divided equally among the population in such a way so as not to diminish the quality of life of any constituent.
