FRANCE

THIS WORK MERGES THE FACE OF JUDAS WITH THE FRENCH FLAG.
JUDAS SYMBOLIZES BETRAYAL, BUT ALSO MORAL AMBIGUITY — THE COMPLEX SPACE WHERE IDEALS COLLIDE WITH SURVIVAL.

THE FLAG BECOMES A MASK.
THE MASK BECOMES A NEGOTIATION.

IN THE CONTEXT OF WAR OF NATIONS, FRANCE IS PORTRAYED AS A NATION DEFINED BY REVOLUTIONARY PRINCIPLES: LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY. YET OPERATING WITHIN THE REALITIES OF STRATEGIC INTEREST, MILITARY INTERVENTION, AND GLOBAL DIPLOMACY.

JUDAS INTRODUCES A QUESTION:
WHEN IDEALS CONFRONT POWER POLITICS, WHAT IS PRESERVED AND WHAT IS SACRIFICED?
IS COMPROMISE A NECESSITY OF STATECRAFT, OR A FORM OF QUIET BETRAYAL?

THIS WORK DOES NOT ACCUSE.
IT EXAMINES THE TENSION BETWEEN MORAL LANGUAGE AND GEOPOLITICAL ACTION.

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.
