>His sculptures, about 15cm in height, often represent a social stereotype as a critical observation on capitalism, power and bureaucracy.

Ahh the good ol artist commenting on capitalism.

Reminds me how I got hate for getting my wife a new non stick cooking pan for christmas, and some college hipster commented it was sexist.

Grow up, be an adult, and realize- We just wanted to cook eggs. And my wife asked for it for christmas.

That said, super impressed by his abilities-

Reads to me like the OP believes that "artist commenting on capitalism" is a bit of a trope, and / or the commentary is typically facile and doesn't hold up to reality (as analogous to the case of "a cooking pan for christmas is sexist" versus "wife asks for a cooking pan for christmas").

I suppose the person to whom you’re responding is struggling to process some aspects of their identity.

He is just struggling to understand how simple some peoples' worldview is.
