This is Nancy Pelosi's desk....with "poop" left on it by one of the Jan 6 MAGA traitors. --
From the Washington Post. --
It is a figurative sculpture, rooted in realism, that shows an improbably large pile of human poop on the desk of Nancy Pelosi, then the highest ranking woman in the democratic system, who had to flee for her life while rioters besieged the building.
The sculpture describes something that happened. Not precisely, to be sure — it references reports that people defecated elsewhere in the Capitol building; they did break into Pelosi’s office; and rioters were heard urging one another to defecate on her desk.
So yes, it has a symbolic aspect, taking a mild liberty in the interest of expression and economy. But the sculpture is in other ways a faithful representation of history.
