The revamped Greek sculptures were part of Adam Reeder's thesis at The San Francisco Academy of Art University, and served to make viewers think about [pop art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair). **Implications** - It is hard to believe that someone as young as Adam Reeder could create suck striking pieces of Greek art.
