Spaceship Earth, Public sculpture at Kennesaw State University, United States.
The Spaceship Earth sculpture, constructed from Brazilian blue quartzite, stands 350,000 pounds in weight and features 2,400 bronze pieces outlining geological land masses.
Finnish American artist Eino Romppanen completed the sculpture in 2006 as a tribute to environmentalist David Brower, but it experienced structural failures two months after installation.
The sculpture represents the concept of Earth as a shared vessel, emphasizing the connection between humanity and environmental preservation through its monumental design.
Located near the Social Sciences Building at Kennesaw State University, the sculpture remained on display until December 2022, when it was permanently removed.
The construction required 88 individual pieces of Brazilian blue quartzite joined together with specialized polyepoxide, creating a massive representation of Earth.
