Siren
Kate Moss, my object of fascination.
Or rather, beauty, my concept of fascniation.
Kate Moss, to me, almost seems to be the modern-day Aphrodite reminding how she has become so iconic she's almost on the equal level as goddesses in the past.
Marble was used in the past as the primary material of sculptures due to its durability, but I thought, why not, just maybe, use gold?
Though it may not be as durable, but sure it'll stand out. A modern-day Aphrodite has to stand out right?
And well, it hasn't been used much since the ancient Egyptian times and i thought it was pretty relevant to do so, as is Moss was an object of worshipping, where everyone look towards her as a living definition of beauty.
Look at her eyes, return her intense gaze.
But wait, you can't take your eyes off her overly contorted body?
Lely's Venus much, anyone? Merely striking a charismatic pose is no longer enough. You need to go beyond that to be recognized, to be noticed.
Someone once asked me, why Siren?
Well, let me enlighten you with the myth of sirens. They are deadly marine seductresses that lure nearby sailors with their enchanting voice to shipwreck at the rocky coasts to their islands.
Beautiful, yet deadly.
My sculptures are about our need for images that people wreck their lives on, trying to achieve impossible wealth, immortality, bodily proportions, beauty. That is why I called the piece ‘Siren’. I want it to be this black hole of everything that is seductive and unattainable.
damn, i think i look good in this picture.
loves,
MQ
