"The Awakening" by J. Seward Johnson, Jr.
“The Awakening” is a sculpture created for the 1980 International Sculpture Conference Exhibition by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. It’s made up of five aluminum pieces that, when placed on the ground, resemble a 100-foot tall giant trying to break free from the earth. Or, maybe it’s the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk after Jack cuts down the stalk. Or, maybe somebody planted the Jolly Green Giant in a shallow grave! Ho, ho, ho, Green Giant!
The statute has moved around a bit but currently it resides in National Harbor, Prince George County, Maryland. It was moved there on 2/20/2008 after being sold for a cool $750,000.
