Romulus

Crafted to be a quiet yet unsettling witness to our present moment, a time suspended between possibility and erasure, this figurine stands tall at 17 inches. It's elongated neck seemingly holds stories of the past, present and the futures; yet this very neck is constricted, it's voice silenced. 

Broad expressive brushstrokes of deep blue and orange move across the pale body, acting as emotional residues of tension, melancholy and introspection, while lighter hues emergency as fleeting sparks of creativity. The surface evokes the chaos of creation itself - messy, unpolished, and deeply human - standing in contrast to the smooth efficiencies of machine work. 

Bound yet upright, subdued yer defiant, Romulus endures. It invites us to pause and reflect on a future where creativity survives only if allowed to breathe.
