The Anatomy of Dominance (2026)
Once We Ruled The World

In this work, the artist uses a “radiographic x-ray view box” as a metaphor for revealing hidden histories of power, time, and existence. By combining a dinosaur skeleton with a human skull and botanical elements, the image suggests a connection between extinct species and modern humanity, showing that all dominance is temporary.

The phrase “Once We Ruled the World” reflects both pride and warning: every civilization and species eventually fades. The metallic palette of copper and steel appears turned inside out, as if emerging from within rather than covering the surface. This reflects the logic of X-ray vision, without enlightenment, where inner structures become visible and external appearances lose importance.

By exposing these metal tones, the artist shows that even symbols of strength and progress are a subject to decay. The work reveals how power often hides beneath its surface.
