This assemblage sculpture combines eclectic materials to evoke a sense of regality and satire. A carved wooden head with a crown-like top sits atop a liquor bottle nestled in shredded American dollars, symbolizing power rooted in delusion. A metallic corkscrew, standing upright, adds an industrial yet ceremonial touch, while the surrounding scraps of money and the accompanying mouse on a leash, hint at themes of vulnerability and control. Set against a wooden base, the piece blends whimsy and critique, exploring the intersections of authority, disenchantment, and material culture.
