‘Artificiata’ draws inspiration from the cabinets of curiosities from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. The series consists of five sculptures, each with its own story and meaning, collectively offering a deeper reflection on contemporary issues and how we, as humans, respond to them.
The River of Blood Never Runs Dry
This artwork serves as a reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and current conflicts, such as the war in Gaza. It confronts the viewer with the ongoing cruelty of humanity and the cyclical nature of hatred and violence. It challenges us to reflect on our role in either perpetuating or breaking these cycles.
1998
This sculpture celebrates Helen O'Connell’s discovery of the full anatomy of the clitoris in 1998 and critiques the historical neglect of female pleasure and the female body in science. It highlights the ongoing impact of sexism and gender bias in medical research.
Daphne
Based on the mythological figure who transformed into a tree to escape divine assault, this work symbolizes the current state of our coral reefs. It reminds us of the destructive impact of human activities on nature and calls for the preservation and restoration of our ecosystems.
I Will Learn To Love My Wrinkles
Inspired by the Nautilus cup, this piece symbolizes the struggle against societal pressure to idealize youth and beauty. It encourages the acceptance and appreciation of natural aging and personal growth.
Love Is A Greedy Bitch
‘Love Is A Greedy Bitch’ explores the complex nature of love and desire, drawing inspiration from the Greek goddess Aphrodite. It reflects on the modern challenges of love and relationships in an era of abundance and choices, and the impact this has on our emotional well-being.
