Paolozzi's art was initially coined by Surrealism, in the following he became one of the most important protagonists of British Pop-Art. Later he turned to sculpting and became famous for his large true-to-life sculptures that he either combined with Cubist elements or deconstructed in a Cubist manner. With their heterogeneity Paolozzi's sculptures embody the conflicts of human existence. The artist merges the different parts and forms a new figure. "Recycling" is rephrased in the sense of a new beginning and not as an act of an ultimate disintegration, as originally intended. Organic and non-organic elements grow together in this sculpture, forming a strange unity and rigidity - as if life gave in to the continuous process of dehumanization.
