Throne room
The Throne Room installation draws on the grandeur and symbolism of ancient spaces of authority, where kingship bridged the earthly and divine.
Each piece is crafted from industrial materials—steel, stainless steel, and copper—transformed through fire into golden forms. Gold, historically a symbol of wealth, power, and divine favor, becomes the central motif. Yet, the gilding in this work is a deliberate illusion: surface treatments mimic the brilliance of true gold, inviting viewers to question the nature of value and authenticity.
