Artwork Description: The sculpture is a representation of the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, with a base that represents the incomplete tower from ancient times. The tower is depicted in a state of disarray, as the builders were confused and unable to communicate with one another due to divine intervention. The top part of the sculpture represents the continuation of the tower in modern times, with the use of binary code as a common language. This section of the sculpture is depicted as sleek and modern, in stark contrast to the rough and unfinished base. The overall effect is a powerful commentary on the changing nature of language and communication throughout human history.
