About this artwork
The cross is compositional spine. Diagonal gold leaf cutting corner to corner unifies two disparate figures.
Material contrast carries the concept. Stone against foil-gold against matte tactical hardware — three distinct material registers doing the talking instead of me over-explaining. The cracked, sun-bleached masonry frame grounds the piece in permanence while the gold and the goggles argue against it.
The night-vision goggles swap contemplative… classical sight for mechanized surveillance sight is the whole argument in one substitution — Apollo/Endymion-adjacent figure rendered as watcher-as-weapon. It's legible without a wall label.
Scale anchor works as intended. The small white silhouetted figure at the base does what it always does in my work.

« To me as an artist, art is an ongoing evolutionary process. The more you do, the more you are prone to make so-called “happy accidents.” The happy accidents are the evolutionary parts of art that tend to have a lasting connection and stand the test of time. »
Aleks Rosenberg is a multi-disciplinary artist and filmmaker who resides in the United States and has exhibited and sold his works internationally. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute and MFA from Yale University School of Art. The central themes found in his works relate to the 'outside looking in' and the 'sun will always come up tomorrow'. For Rosenberg, there has always been tension between darkness and light, and as such, his compositions seek to find a balance between the two extremes. Working through series, he uses contrasting found or repurposed materials to leave clues for stories to be told.
