CHINA

THIS WORK MERGES THE FACE OF THE PRODIGAL SON WITH THE CHINESE FLAG.
THE PRODIGAL SON SYMBOLIZES RETURN, A FIGURE WHO DEPARTS, ENDURES, AND REEMERGES WITH TRANSFORMED PURPOSE.

THE FLAG BECOMES A MASK.
THE MASK BECOMES A RESURGENCE.

IN THE CONTEXT OF WAR OF NATIONS, CHINA IS PORTRAYED AS A CIVILIZATION REASSERTING ITS POSITION IN A GLOBAL ORDER IT ONCE STOOD AT THE CENTER OF. ECONOMIC EXPANSION, TECHNOLOGICAL ASCENT, AND STRATEGIC PATIENCE DEFINE ITS POSTURE.

THE PRODIGAL SON INTRODUCES A QUESTION:
IS THIS A RETURN TO BALANCE, OR A REDEFINITION OF IT?
WHEN A POWER RISES AGAIN, DOES IT SEEK RESTORATION OR REVISION?

THIS WORK DOES NOT PREDICT CONFLICT.
IT EXAMINES THE MOMENT WHEN ASCENT AND ESTABLISHED DOMINANCE MEET.

A COLLISION OF SCULPTURE, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND DIGITAL MANIPULATION. THIS WORK IS CONSTRUCTED FROM ORIGINAL IMAGES OF BRONZE SCULPTURES, LAYERED WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS AND REASSEMBLED THROUGH DIGITAL COLLAGE.

THIS DIGITAL ARTWORK CAN BE PRINTED IN ANY OF THE SIZES AVAILABLE IN THE DROP DOWN BOX.
