Remember that giant bronze duo of Donald Trump and the late Jeffrey Epstein skipping hand in hand? Well, its back! 🤯 The 3.5-meter tall statue titled Best Friends Forever reappeared this Thursday on Washington D.C.s National Mall, right in the middle of the ongoing US government shutdown.
Originally unveiled on September 23, the cheeky sculpture lasted under 24 hours before being removed—only to vanish as quickly as it arrived. With many federal workers furloughed and museums on pause due to the shutdown, its return feels like part art prank, part political statement.
Whether youre scrolling through Instagram in Mumbai, tweeting from Manila, or catching reels in Kuala Lumpur, youve probably seen your feed explode with shots of this unlikely BFF duo. 📸 Its a sharp satire on power and scandal—two themes we can’t avoid, no matter where we live.
Whats next? Will the statue stick around this time, or pull another vanishing act? One things sure: creative pop-up art is dominating public spaces to spark global convos. If you spot any fresh installations in your city, share them online with #PublicArtAlert—lets keep the chat going! ✌️
