Axis of Evil - Sonata
Reflections on war and global conflict. A response to the invasion into Iraq, 2003.
Subject
My reflections on war and global conflict. This piece, in particular, is a response to the invasion into Iraq in 2003. It features a music box playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" while a gunslinger from the "Wild West" spins around. This juxtaposition represents the contrast between beauty and violence, and how there is often an underlying darkness beneath the surface. Beside the black box sits 5 glass vials filled with symbolic elements, adding another layer to the narrative. I hope my art sparks conversations and encourages deeper thought about the impact of war on humanity.
Med. wooden music box, mirror, metal, glass vials, plastic cowboy, rubber eagle, black sand, paper, enamel paint, music box movement.
Size W19cm. x H12cm. x D11cm.
