Chapel (Wooden Sculpture) manifests as a striking three-dimensional construction, meticulously handcrafted in wood and modelled on the instantly recognisable silhouette of the Chanel No. 5 bottle. Expanding upon Endless’s seminal Chapel motif, the work translates his exploration or branding into sculptural form elevating a commercial icon into an object of contemplation and critique. At its core, the sculpture operates as an ode to contemporary “brand worship,” interrogating the ways in which consumer culture has assumed the rituals and structures of religion. In Endless’s vision, spaces of commerce become sites of devotion, the act or shopping mirrors pilgrimage, and the branded object assumes the status of relic. Material. the work is grounded in the urban fabric of London. Constructed from timber reminiscent of hoardings found on building sites and boarded facades, the sculpture carries with it the visual language of a city in flux spaces suspended between use and abandonment. These surfaces, often marked by time and
intervention, become sites of layered narrative, echoing the graffiti and informal mark-making that define the evolving identity of the street. Over a period of years, the sculpture was deliberately exposed to the elements, allowing processes of natural decay to shape its surface. Endless subsequently Introduced materials drawn from this same urban ecosystem barbed wire, creeping foliage, moss embedding the work within a dialogue between erosion and growth, neglect ana rer the result is a compelling juxtaposition: the polished symbolism of luxury set against the raw textures urban decay. In this tension. Chapel Wooden Sculpture) encapsulates a central thread of Endless’s practice revealing beauty not as a fixed ideal, but as something continually redefined within the contrasts of contemporary life.
