This set of three smiling sculptures portrays officer workers. They look happy and may instantly appeal to the viewers but the artist intends to convey a deeper meaning. A certain helplessness of the office crowd: they have no choice but to bow and smile to everyone and to adopt a servile attitude.... all “standardised”.
