"Device to Root Out Evil" is a 1997 sculpture by American artist Dennis Oppenheim. The work depicts a partially constructed house-like structure, seemingly precariously balanced on a single point. The piece can be interpreted as a commentary on the fragility of the built environment, the potential for destruction, or even the precariousness of life itself. Its unconventional form and unsettling balance invite viewers to contemplate the nature of stability and the potential for chaos.
