Labyrinth with Oranges

A classical bust of a woman in profile dominates this composition, rendered in a style that suggests eroded stone or plaster. The head is partially fragmented, revealing an intricate internal architectural structure of staircases, arches, and small figures within. This internal landscape creates a sense of depth and narrative, suggesting a mind or an interior world that is simultaneously ancient and deconstructed. The architectural elements appear as if they are ruins, yet they are contained within the form of a classical sculpture. The artwork juxtaposes classical forms with elements of decay and architectural intervention, a recurring motif in the artist's practice. The presence of two sliced oranges in the foreground introduces a contrasting element of vibrant color and organic form against the monochromatic, sculptural head. This inclusion can be interpreted as a temporal marker or a symbolic counterpoint to the themes of antiquity and erosion presented by the main subject. The overall effect is one of "fictional archaeology," where familiar objects or forms are presented as if discovered from a future excavation, blurring the lines between past, present, and future.
