Every sin is cast in the same material: liquid, mirror-bright gold, set against total black. Gold is what we chase and what we are told to admire — here it becomes the skin of our weaknesses, so that each flaw shines before it unsettles.
None of the works preach. Each one isolates a single gesture — a raised arm, a lily, a crown, a foot above a skull — and leaves the judgement to the viewer. Hung together they read as one sentence about being human.
Lust
Giclée · 2023 · €1.075
Golden curves entwine in a dance of desire, capturing the essence of passion without surrendering to the explicit. Lust, a subtle acknowledgement that the pursuit of connection and intimacy is a fundamental aspect of our shared humanity.
Greed
Giclée · 2023 · €1.075
Gold adorns every inch, a reflection of insatiable desire. Greed, a shimmering cloak that tempts us all, reminding us that abundance must be met with a generous heart. Taking the life of a flower just to satisfy our greed for a little scent and beauty.
Sloth
Giclée · 2023 · €1.075
A cross-legged sitting pose captures the essence of inaction, not as a flaw, but as a momentary pause in the ceaseless rhythm of life. Sloth, a gentle whisper reminding us that rest is as vital as motion. It depicts sitting under the shower, enjoying the warmth but wasting water and energy as you get lost in thought.
Envy
Giclée · 2024 · €1.075
Two golden bodies mirror each other, close enough to touch yet turned away. Between them floats a single green eye, the only colour in the frame. Envy, the quiet habit of measuring ourselves against what someone else holds, until even our own gold looks like it belongs to someone else.
Gluttony
Giclée · 2024 · €1.075
A golden head tips back, mouth open, while champagne, a burger, a cigarette and a handful of pills drift overhead. Gluttony, not only of food but of every quick pleasure we reach for, a reminder that the hunger we keep feeding is the one that is never satisfied.
Pride
Giclée · 2024 · €1.075
A gilded bust wears a crown too heavy for its face, chin raised above everything below. Pride, the shining armour we build around ourselves, beautiful from a distance, yet leaving no room to see, or be seen, as we truly are.
Wrath
Giclée · 2023 · €1.075
A golden foot comes down on a white skull, frozen in the instant before it presses. Wrath, the fire that feels like strength while it burns, reminding us that what we crush in anger is rarely what we can rebuild.
At home.
