Rooster

Alex Zamesin
Minnesota
Materials: Recycled Tires
Selling Price: $17,000

Artist Statement:

This sculpture captures the rooster not as a static symbol, but as a living, breathing creature—full of energy, movement, and purpose. Crafted from recycled tires, the material itself mirrors the resilience and resourcefulness of nature, where nothing is wasted, and everything finds a second life. In this piece, I aimed to depict the rooster as it exists in reality: alert, dynamic, and ready to greet the world with its powerful presence. It is a testament to the strength found in everyday life, a reminder that even the most common creatures possess a spirit of determination and renewal. By working with discarded materials, I not only bring new life to forgotten objects but also invite viewers to see the beauty in what often goes unnoticed—the raw vitality of nature and the power of transformation.
