Notes
“'Bang' commands attention. Yet, beneath the surface lies a profound exploration of the consequences of our actions and the lasting impact they leave on the world.The striking contrast between the burgundy velvet base and the mirror, immediately draws the viewer's attention. The darkness of the bloodied velvet serves as a poignant backdrop for the shattered round mirror, hinting at a narrative of destruction and loss. The choice of 24k gold-plated Second World War bullets accentuates the sculpture's underlying message. Each bullet, adorned in gold, carries with it the weight of historical conflicts and human suffering. The juxtaposition of opulence and warfare serves as a powerful commentary on the links between luxury culture, capitalism and war.” - Elizabeth Eade
