Bronze sculptures created for post-anthropocene art often reflect humanity’s anxieties and speculations about a future where humans no longer dominate the planet. One prevalent theme is ecological collapse, where artists depict nature reclaiming urban landscapes—twisted metal entwined with vines or animals roaming deserted cities. Another common motif is the fragility of human legacy, with sculptures portraying decaying monuments or fragmented artifacts, suggesting the impermanence of civilization.

Some works explore hybridity, merging organic and mechanical forms to symbolize the blurred boundaries between life and technology. Others focus on absence, using empty human silhouettes or abandoned objects to evoke the void left by humanity’s disappearance. A recurring speculative theme is the rise of new dominant species, often imagined as evolved or mutated creatures inheriting the Earth.

These themes challenge viewers to confront the consequences of environmental neglect while reimagining a world beyond human influence. Bronze, with its durability and historical significance, becomes a poignant medium for these narratives, bridging the past and an uncertain future.
