About this artwork
Inspired by the iconic Cycladic figurines created in the Aegean islands during the Early Bronze Age (c. 3200–2000 BCE), in this sculpture, I embed miniature soldiers , bringing one of humanity's earliest sculptural archetypes into dialogue with a persistent reality of human history: territorial conflict and war.
The figures, associated with ritual, death, and remembrance, become a vessel for reflecting on humanity's enduring cycle of violence. The… soldiers suspended within the body evoke the countless lives shaped and lost through struggles for land, power, and identity. By merging an ancient archetype with symbols of warfare, I invite viewers to consider how conflict has remained a constant throughout human civilization and to reflect on the continuing human cost of territorial ambition.
