I suppose the picture was taken with a lens that makes all the city buildings appear to lean. If I imagine the sculpture in a park in a city, it seems to me it can make a walker cringe a little, then recognize the amazing things one can do in building with the right materials and balance to create an apparent defiance of gravity. One might also think about the roots of religion as deep in the earth, or as standing on its head, i.e. on human imagination. One might think about the precariousness of all traditions in the context of modern life, changes in the relation of human populations to the planet, massive architecture vs human scale, and the inner world as opposed to or as manipulated by technology. Lots to think about.
