Floyd as he was at his very last minutes, lying with his eyes closed. The sculpture by Israeli artist Dan Reisner.
Reisner works in his studio in Jaffa.[4][7][8] He has taught sculpture at the Meirhof Center for Art Education at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Ort Evin High School, Ramat Gan, and Kalisher School of Art at the Tel Aviv-Jaffa, where he served as the director of the Sculpture Department.[2]
In 2020, Reisner sculpted a bronze cast of George Floyd's head. The statue was made right after the tragedy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in May 2020.[5] The sculpture is lying on its left ear with its eyes closed[9] and has tree rings-like around its neck, indicating the eight-plus minutes of his killing.[1][7] Reisner's bronze bust of the late George Floyd was acquired by the International African American Museum (IAAM) in Charleston, South Carolina.[10]
