Flip is a highly polished bronze sculpture by Ana Carey that captures the tension and vitality of the contemporary moment. The figure is intentionally androgynous, presenting both an Adam’s apple and breasts, subtly challenging fixed definitions of gender while acknowledging identities that shape modern society,he, she, they. Central to the composition is a bold hand gesture: the raised middle finger. Rather than functioning purely as provocation, within Carey’s work the gesture becomes a symbol of defiance, autonomy, and cultural commentary. The reflective surface of the polished bronze draws the viewer the surrounding environment into the work itself, allowing the city and its inhabitants to become part of the sculpture’s visual language. In this way, Flip operates both as a physical object and as a reflection of the social atmosphere from which it emerges. Poised between confrontation and elegance, the sculpture embodies the energy, friction, and shifting identitie.
