Engraving on Plexiglas + Blue Led light
Two figures suspended, motionless yet exposed—one with a glass in hand, the other reaching out, crowned. Both are bound by strings, manipulated from above, their autonomy only an illusion. The scene evokes antiquity through their posture and attire, yet it is contemporary in essence. These are not classical archetypes, but social roles—power, seduction, dominance, influence—stripped of context and agency.
The threads that bind are neither visible mechanisms nor metaphorical abstractions—they are the digital, cultural, and algorithmic forces pulling at modern identity. Under the sterile glow of LED, these glowing silhouettes reveal how roles are performed more than inhabited. Whether on a screen or a stage, both are played.
