Ridley Scott has cited the sculpture as the aesthetic inspiration for the character 'Mother,' on HBO Max's Raised by Wolves. Most Rainforest Cafe locations have a statue resembling this one in a waterfall with a fountain, with the words 'Rescue the Rainforest' in green neon letters across the equator of the globe. It has been featured in almost every episode of the television series 30 Rock, appearing in numerous establishing shots depicting the 30 Rockefeller Plaza building, where the series is set. The piece has since been appropriated as a symbol of the Objectivist movement and has been associated with Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). The statue stands on one muscular leg atop a small stone pedestal, whose corner faces Fifth Avenue. The north-south axis of the armillary sphere on his shoulders points towards the North Star's position relative to New York City.
