The exhibition 'Before The End' by artist Huma Bhabha features four monumental bronze sculptures on display at Brooklyn Bridge Park until March 2025. Organized by the Public Art Fund, the installation reflects on themes of civilization and resilience. Bhabha utilizes a hands-on approach to create figures that evoke ancient relics and futuristic beings, merging mythology with science fiction. The exhibition's title references a medieval scholar, highlighting the duality of past and future. The artworks, while unsettling, prompt reflections on the state of the world amid their imposing scale against the Manhattan skyline.
Bhabha stated, emphasizing the tactile quality of her sculptures. This hands-on approach allows each piece to retain a sense of imperfection and organic decay.
The sheer scale of the sculptures, set against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline, reinforces a sense of both vulnerability and resilience.
