A series of small drawings illustrates how seemingly minor gestures can convey profound messages. By depicting the wounded faces of three ancient Greek gods—figures whose identities have been lost to time—these battered heads reflect a loss of identity and agency, resonating with a broader sense of uncertainty in a world that once seemed stable. In contrast, a small drawing of the Michelangelo cast room in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow raises critical questions about the intersection of art, identity, and cultural hypocrisy, particularly as Michelangelo’s often semi-homoerotic, humanist sculptures directly conflict with a dictatorial regime that is fiercely anti-LGBTQ+.
Exhibition 'Everything Shakes', where this artwork is part of, is an invitation to engage with the complex and unstable dynamics of material, memory, and personal experience: a restless, unfinished translation of experiences, emotions, politics, and materials into new and tremulous visual form.
