Trample, is a cast bronze sculpture representing the struggles of living in a world that values success and individual power over compassion and community. In order for one person to attain vast wealth and power they must step on and over others, taking more than their fair share while leaving nothing for the rest. In a time when the wealth, power, and greed of the few are compromising the existence of the many, it is more important than ever to see the suffering the ever expanding wealth/power gap causes.
