The sculpture stands tall, rendered in oxidized copper that gives it a dark teal finish, reminiscent of relics from another time. Priscilla Chan's likeness is wrapped in a gleaming himation, a nod to classical Greco-Roman sculptures, with Arsham's signature touch making it feel both ancient and modern at once.
In a playful Instagram post, Chan herself stood next to the statue with a coffee mug, humorously captioning the moment with, 'The more of me the better?' Zuckerberg chimed in, explaining that the inspiration for the sculpture came from the 'Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife.'
Daniel Arsham is known for his unique approach to art, frequently creating 'fossilized' versions of contemporary items, casting them as if they were relics from the distant future. In this case, Zuckerberg's commission is a perfect marriage of Arsham's love for blending eras and his client's flair for the unexpected.
