murphy's sculptural feat "damage" consists of 1,200 ping pong balls painted black and suspended from the ceiling, when viewed from the correct angle the balls coalesce into an expanded graphic of an assault rifle. the piece was created with the ongoing gun control debate in america in mind, and stands as a metaphor for the role perspective plays in shaping this dialogue. the physical arrangement of the piece seems at first unorganized, until it is viewed from the proper perspective when a fully formed assault rifle comes into full view. as murphy said when the piece was released, instead of taking a side in the debate, the piece was meant to further communication and discussion about gun control, gun culture and the use of guns in america.
