Brooklyn-based Elliot Arkin has released a new miniature statue in tribute to acclaimed Chinese artist Ai WeiWei. #1/1,000,000,000 is a nod to the star of the recent Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry documentary, and his cheeky photo series in which he flips the bird at various monuments and structures around the world. The initial series was intended to showcase perspective as opposed to the simple F*ck You translation most of us have come to associate the project with, however, that's what makes art so special. It's up for interpretation. So take from it what you'd like. 

Yours for $200 and limited to an edition of 100, we'd hurry up and scoop one before they're all gone.
