Subsistence of Venus
A sculpture series in gold and chrome
The concept
Venus did not die with the classics; she was rebuilt. She replaced her flesh with gold and her vulnerability with silver armour — the goddess who did not ask permission to survive the collapse of time.
From fertility to resistance
In classical mythology, Venus is beauty and origin. In this new vision she is not only beauty — she is survival.
The duality of metals
Gold is not an adornment, it is her skin — the divine and unalterable. Chrome is technology: the armour she has had to build to avoid being destroyed by time.
A fossil of the future
Venus has not been reborn. She has survived.
