This ceramic sculpture, casted in 2009, presents a striking tension between decorative beauty and systemic trauma. Its elegant, stylised figure adorned with floral motifs and metallic drapery, stands over a base wrapped in repeating, confrontational texts about exploitation and control. The piece serves as a powerful critique of objectification, societal power structures, and human vulnerability.
