Mail, 2020-21
iron, snake skin, 45x31x2,5cm
ongoing series
The work consists of a metal frame in the form of an e-mail icon, lined with snakeskin.
The snake is for me one of the most tangible evocations of the alien as a threat, and
more broadly an element whose symbolic significance interests me - from biblical tradition
to mythology and the eternal return. Mail is a message formalized not as verbal
content, but as a mere perception of threat, at once indefinite and fatal.
