The meaning of these Kostas Seremetis creations may not be obvious, but you can still appreciate the technical artistry involved in crafting sculptures like these. Using old planks of wood from police barricades to fashion a geometrically perfect star, the multi-talented artist is clearly trying to convey a message to his viewers. What that message is, however, is for audiences and critics to decipher.
Though they may appear similar, each Kostas Seremetis sculpture is actually distinguishable from one another by the placement of their "police dept." signage. Seremetis also crafted one of these star sculptures with a noticeably different police barricade that features red and white paint. That particular creation currently hangs in an art gallery suspended by wires and chains.
