Description
The Awakening (1980) is a 70-foot (21 m) statue of a giant embedded in the earth, struggling to free himself, located in Chesterfield, MO. It was created by J. Seward Johnson, Jr.
The statue consists of five separate aluminum pieces buried in the ground, giving the impression of a distressed giant attempting to free himself from the ground. The left hand and right foot barely protrude, while the bent left leg and knee jut into the air. The 17-foot (5.2 m) high right arm and hand reach farther out of the ground. The bearded face, with the mouth in mid-scream, struggles to emerge from the earth.
