The sculpture of Paul VI Hall (Part 1)

|
Recently, while exploring the internet, my eyes caught this photograph.
It was the first time for me to see this sculpture. I was very surprised. I thought, “What's this!?” I did not feel beauty in this at all. Rather, I felt only ugliness. To my eyes, this did not look like Catholic art at all. Rather, it looked like absolutely contrary to that.
How do you feel about this? Is this beautiful? Is this worthy as Catholic art? (I am writing this on the assumption that readers are mainly Catholic faithfuls.)
I examined this more. And I came to distrust my own eyes.
“Monstrous”... I can't recall any adjectives except this.
Really monstrous... (Though, as to the above one, I later noticed it belongs to the Vatican museum.)
Dark and weird forest...
A wet nest of insect?
A kind of sea creatures adheres to the rock? It's moving?
Scary... Eerie... Grotesque... Horrible...
Nonsense...
Fathers, do you feel nothing?
