Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali (1980)
This is another sculpture by Salvador Dali, one that borrows from his most famous theme, the melting clocks (or soft watches). Interestingly, this bronze bears the same title as his most famous painting (Persistence of Memory), which he produced in 1931. There is no doubt that these pieces (the bronze as well as the painting) symbolize the element of time, but I found it very interesting to read about the various interpretations of so-called art experts and critiques on what Dali really tried to portray with these works of art, especially the painting (reproduced below).
