Relics of Power
This series presents masculinity not as monument, but as relic — abstract male busts adorned with delicate pearlwork, suspended in a tension between strength and softness. These aren’t tributes to power, but quiet reckonings with its facade.
With ornamental detail evoking a feminine energy, the sculptures question what remains of masculinity when it’s no longer armored. The bodies are stylized, vibrant, yet vacant — suggesting identity not as essence, but as performance. In their quiet stillness, they challenge the rigidity of gendered form, inviting reflection on vulnerability, beauty, and the quiet erosion of old ideals.
