Artist Marco Cochrane Explains What R-Evolution Statue Stands For

Cochrane elaborated that the sculpture was created to draw attention to the ongoing lack of representation of women in public art. He described the figure as standing strong, confident, and firmly rooted, symbolizing a powerful message for a future where all individuals, regardless of gender, can walk through the world with freedom and without fear. According to the San Francisco Standard, the piece aims to inspire a shift in how public art reflects the diverse experiences of society.

The sculpture, originally showcased at the Burning Man festival in 2015, was created by artist Marco Cochrane using 55,000 welds of steel rods and tubing. Weighing 13,000 pounds, with an additional 16,000 pounds of steel to secure it, the piece also features a mechanical function that mimics breathing for one hour daily. 

At night, the sculpture is illuminated from within. Standing 45 feet tall and titled R-Evolution, it will be on display for a minimum of six months, with the possibility of extending the exhibit up to a year. A video shared on social media platform X shows a worker appearing to perform a "surgical procedure" on the sculpture's back.
