Untitled 4

Three simian-headed figures, dressed in intricately patterned bodies like living textiles, form a ceremonial knot around a fragile glass bowl—an oasis of quiet life—while the sky above is militarized by repeating aircraft and a sea of silhouettes below suggests a world reduced to mass and motion. The composition hinges on this suspended aquarium, where the orange fish becomes a tender emblem of breath and innocence held hostage by collective grip, as if care itself has become an act of containment. Saturated reds, greens, and blues lend the scene a carnivalesque clarity that sharpens, rather than softens, the unease: domestic windows and a line of laundry are stitched into the figures, implying that everyday intimacy persists inside bodies shaped by systems of control. In its surreal balance of humor and dread, the work reads as an allegory of modern belonging—community as embrace, community as custody—set against the indifferent choreography of power overhead.
