Ego


The assembled might of Man gathers unto itself a hollow authority. When Man mounts the turrets of his defense, what has he left untended?

The dominant element of this figure is an out-thrust dynamism. Reminiscent of armor, battlements, and stockades, the dentate forms are as weapons. This fearsome grandeur is nominally in service of protecting the Citadel (the self). In the end, the projection of strength is clearly shown for what it is: a stance, a pose.

Eventually, every sword pierces its owner.
