While working on these, I came to a realization that not everything needs to be literal. There can be symbols and actions that represent things. Like for example, the second sculpture's arms falling off symbolizes the fame literally "breaking" him. These symbols can be interpreted differently, too. Not everyone can take things the way I do. And that is ok.
