Survival Of The Fittest (Crab Invasion)

This sculptural tableau stages an unsettling banquet where polished copper vessels spill not nourishment but a proliferation of crabs, their repeated forms turning the tray into a measured field of contagion and ritual. The warm metallic sheen seduces the eye even as the granular ground and regimented framing impose a sense of containment—an attempted order that the sideways, crawling bodies quietly resist. By juxtaposing domestic receptacles with relentless biological motion, the work meditates on appetite and excess, suggesting how what we gather and “hold” can quickly become what overruns us.
