The Desire to be in Control #2 is a white-on-white abstract clay sculpture created on a 20 round canvas. This minimalist monochrome wall sculpture can be excellent living room decor or aesthetic bedroom decor. Easy cleaning with a feather duster. This wall sculpture was exhibited in BE YOURSELF - BE CONTEMPORARY Collective Exhibition in Matera, Italy: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3QJjpRu9J7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== & at the London location of The Holy Art Gallery: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6EaGbQrAM8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== We all have our limitations. Each of us. You name it. We live in a mortal (healthy?) human body, a random combination of our ancestors' genes. We happened to be born in a specific country at a particular time; our race, ethnicity, & cultural background also happened to us. We can also not control thinking; it happens to us as digestion does. Our reality is beyond our knowledge to a greater extent. We feel it. We are simple, imperfect, & impermanent, & we know it. We all have the desire to be in control. We know we can barely control anything, but we still try to. Nevertheless, because of all this, we all feel our completeness & are infinitely beautiful in our fragility & mortality. We are in this together. Every sculptured element in my works represents a person, & I incorporate many of these elements into my sculptures. So, the people in my sculpturesI want them to look similar but different. We are very much alike; our differences are overrated. I made this observation as I am a product of two nations, & as a result of two immigrations I made as an adult. But we are not identical; that's why I absolutely don't want those sculptured elements to be smooth & look like they were made in mass production. I want to show their character - their texture. I want them to look rough, but in a way that this rough texture emphasizes their gentleness. I want them to look fragile when, in fact, they are really hard to break. I want them to show every touch of my fingers; I create those cracks as they represent different experiences we are going through. Then, I organize them on a canvas together in a kind of dance; there is logic in the composition because, in this life, we are in this together; we are connected. Somehow. We feel it. Our reality is beyond our knowledge, BUT we feel this connection. I use canvases instead of wooden or any other firm surfaces, & I do so to emphasize lightness, both literally & metaphorically. Literally, because canvas weighs much less than wooden planks. Also, metaphorically, to convey the feeling that even though we are fragile, we got this; we have a lot of strength in us, especially if we are together. We are in this together; we are connected. ????This wall sculpture is a series. This one will be number 5.
