Trenton Doyle Hancock’s Undom Endgle (Undom Endgle and the Mounted Meat Cycle) (2022) is a vibrant, narrative-rich sculpture installed as part of the Miami Worldcenter Public Art Program. Known for blending personal mythology, comic book aesthetics, and layered social commentary, Hancock introduces Undom Endgle as the first female superhero in his Moundverse—a fictional world he’s cultivated since childhood. The Moundverse is populated by characters like Torpedo Boy (his long-standing alter ego), the Mounds (plant-human hybrids), and the villainous Vegans (tofu-eating antagonists who threaten the Mounds). These mythologies explore themes of morality, power, identity, race, and spirituality, echoing Hancock’s own upbringing in a religious household in Paris, Texas, and his immersion in comic books and pop culture.

Undom Endgle, once a Mound herself, now stands as a formidable protector—a warrior goddess safeguarding her community. Her presence in downtown Miami introduces not only visual spectacle but a narrative of resilience, transformation, and the feminine divine within Hancock’s world-building practice. The sculpture’s playfulness and intensity reflect his larger body of work, which has been exhibited at the Whitney Biennial and internationally acclaimed institutions.

Square Edge Inc. played an essential role in bringing this complex and visually demanding installation to life at Miami Worldcenter. Acting as the project manager and on-the-ground liaison, Square Edge oversaw every stage of implementation—from coordinating transport and insurance logistics, to site-specific placement and installation. Due to the sculpture’s scale, material requirements, and narrative intricacy, it required precision handling and deep collaboration with curators from Primary Projects and the artist’s studio.

Square Edge ensured that Hancock’s creative vision remained uncompromised while also adhering to the broader infrastructural and timeline demands of an urban development project. This meant synchronizing with construction crews, city permitting processes, and security specifications, all while safeguarding the artistic integrity of the work. Their coordination not only helped translate Undom Endgle from concept to permanent public sculpture but also reinforced Miami Worldcenter’s commitment to positioning art at the forefront of community and cultural identity.
