As the main college building of Goldsmiths is blazing in the background, the biblical depiction of Samson fighting a lion can be found in the foreground. The prominent Goldsmiths scribble sculpture or ‘squiggle’ forms a cage in which the struggle takes place. Honouring a tradition of Symbolism, the depicted battle reflects the experiences and inner-life of the international male student.
