"Recumbent Iceberg (r11i01)" (2006) is a large-scale, site-specific installation by contemporary artist Inigo Manglano-Ovalle. The sculpture is a complex, interwoven network of steel rods, creating a three-dimensional, abstract form reminiscent of an iceberg. The piece explores themes of fragility, ephemerality, and the interconnectedness of natural phenomena, echoing the artist's ongoing interest in environmental issues. The work is a striking example of Manglano-Ovalle's use of minimalist forms and industrial materials to engage viewers with complex concepts.
