Artist Statement:
Some wounds don’t take...they transform.
This piece captures the instant after external judgment has been internalized not as shame, but as momentum. The Lamb doesn’t wear the red with regret. He wears it like a crown.
The mark on the mask, for me, represents the moment when a label becomes a weapon, and a victim becomes sovereign. He’s not walking away. He’s walking forward—toward you.

Artist Statement:
This Lamb is not preparing to flee or repent. He’s preparing to be seen.
The tie is not a symbol of conformity, but of willful composure in a crumbling world.
This piece is about the illusion of control. The Lamb knows the building behind him is rotting, knows his shirt bears the stain of previous violence. Still, he straightens the tie. Not out of vanity but to own the moment before everything falls apart.
In this work, I wanted posture to tell the story. There is no movement, but everything is about to move.

Artist Statement:
Silence walks heavier than screams.
“There Was Nothing Left to Explain” captures the Lamb at his most centered no flourish, no drama, no mask adjustment or performative bloodshed. He’s already done what needed doing. This is the quiet return.
I created this piece to test how far calmness could carry dread. The pose is simple. The setting is familiar. But the stillness is final.

Artist Statement:
In The Inventory of Desire, the gaze is not passive — it consumes, dissects, arranges. The mannequins, stripped of identity, perform idealized masculinity for a power structure that both fetishizes and erases them. The man in the suit doesn't seek connection; he seeks control. This piece interrogates the line between admiration and objectification, queerness and capitalism, arousal and annihilation. What does it mean to want something you can never truly touch?
