*It’s Not Over Yet* draws inspiration from the final scene of *Planet of the Apes* (1968), in which the discovery of the ruined Statue of Liberty reveals the collapse of human civilisation. The artist remembers this scene vividly from childhood — an image that remained with her for years, becoming a powerful symbol of the fragility of the world we take for granted.

The sculpture presents a fragmented, partially buried Statue of Liberty, surrounded by architectural debris. One of the most recognisable symbols of freedom and democracy is transformed into a ruin, deprived of its original monumentality and authority. What was once a representation of political ideals and collective aspirations becomes a remnant of a civilisation that failed to preserve the values it claimed to represent.

Although rooted in a science fiction film, the work speaks directly to the condition of contemporary society and the world we inhabit. Growing political tensions, social polarisation, environmental crises, and the erosion of democratic values make the dystopian vision of *Planet of the Apes* feel increasingly relevant. The sculpture questions our belief in progress and the permanence of systems that appear stable, exposing how easily the structures on which we build our sense of security can collapse. The title *It’s Not Over Yet* carries a deliberate ambiguity. It can be read as both a warning that the processes leading towards destruction are still unfolding and a suggestion that the future remains open. The work leaves us with a question: are we witnessing the beginning of the end, or are we still capable of changing its course?
