Two roosters fight against one another atop a rusted wrought iron fence and rotary hoe. The rooster at the higher position is in front of the rotary hoe and assumes a positional advantage. The rooster below has decided to fight back rather than accepting a pecking order. This work is meant to reflect our current social political structure within the US. Those seen as the lower section of society are rising together against the abuse of those currently in power. We are refusing a system based on power, money, and inequality.
