Big Boss, formerly known as Naked Snake, is the formidable protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. As a highly skilled operative, his journey in the game showcases his evolution from a loyal soldier to a complex figure entangled in the intricacies of espionage and betrayal.

The statue is inspired by the poignant ending of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, where Big Boss salutes at The Boss' grave as a final tribute to his mentor. This salute symbolizes his unwavering respect and the complex emotions he carries after a mission filled with betrayal and sacrifice.
