In this arresting mixed media work, Endless constructs a contemporary icon that confronts the uneasy intersection of desire, survival, and violence. The central figure, composed from fragments of found fashion portraits and advertising, retains the seductive polish of luxury imagery, yet is destabilised through sharp interventions and fractured planes. Embedded within the composition, the artist’s own eyes lock onto the viewer, asserting a personal, unflinching gaze that reframes the work as both observation and challenge. Set in a pose reminiscent of religious iconography, the figure is crowned with a halo of knives, objects originally intended for nourishment, now recontextualised as instruments of threat and protection on the streets. This transformation underscores a darker narrative, where tools of everyday utility become symbols of survival within environments shaped by inequality. Through layered collage, spray paint, and gestural mark-making, Endless draws a stark contrast between the aspirational language of high fashion advertising and the harsher realities of lived experience, inviting the viewer to question a culture in which luxury and violence exist in uneasy proximity, and where the pursuit of more is so often entangled with conflict.
