"Spaceship Earth" is Eino's most ambitious project yet. Conceived as a memorial to the late legendary environmentalist David Brower, the design comprises a 15-foot-diameter sphere, with a life-size bronze figure of Brower featured near its apex.
In addition to the bronze figure of Brower, approximately 2,400 additional bronze pieces will be attached to the face of the globe. The work fuses Eino's rich and unique experience in sculpting both stone and bronze, and is expected to be unveiled sometime in the near future. "Spaceship Earth" is planned to land during September of 2006 at Kennesaw State University. As part of its message to the future generations of beings inhabiting our globe, it will enclose a time capsule carrying messages from the present. The messages will be in the form of essays written by everyday people.
