This tableau feels like a surreal procession—part agricultural convoy, part military parade, rendered entirely in terracotta. The tractor, with its exaggerated features and stylized driver, pulls a trailer of missile-like forms that read as both absurd and ominous. There’s a tension here: the familiar shape of rural machinery fused with symbols of warfare, all softened by the earthy material and playful proportions.

What’s striking is how the piece resists a fixed reading. It could be a critique of industrial militarization, or just a dreamlike mashup of forms that happened to land in this configuration. The corrugated base suggests terrain—maybe a field, maybe a launchpad—while the uniform color unifies the disparate elements into a single, strange narrative. It’s theatrical, almost like a scene from a claymation film that never got made.

There’s humor here, but it’s dry and ambiguous. The missiles are too stylized to be threatening, the tractor too toy-like to be heroic. It’s as if the whole tableau is caught between earnestness and parody, inviting viewers to project their own associations while never quite settling into one. Like the Kennedy piece, it feels like a moment suspended—an arrangement that emerged through play, and now quietly asks: what do you make of this?
