Experience the stunning artwork of The Round Table by Choe U Ram in this captivating video. Dive into the intricate details and cultural significance of this masterpiece.

This artwork from South Korea, titled The Round Table, features 18 headless mechanical figures crafted from straw, each striving to claim a single head rolling on top, while they balance a table on their backs. As soon as one figure raises itself in an attempt to reach the head, the table tilts, causing the head to roll further out of reach, perpetuating their struggle. Above them, three large blackbirds hover, symbolizing the upper class observing the endless toil of the working class below.
