BLACK, VERY BLACK AND VERY VERY BLACK MAGIC is a monumental black sculpture whose
base takes the form of a grasping paw tipped with elongated acrylic nails. Rising from this
clawed foundation is a central phallic structure, held upright yet unstable, encircled by
plump lips and a protruding, licking tongue. The surfaces are smooth and synthetic, their
exaggerated anatomies fused into a single vertical mass that oscillates between fetish
object, totem, and grotesque ornament.
The sculpture stages a dense collision of gestures—grasping, presenting, enclosing,
slipping—without resolving their direction. Power and submission, attraction and
aggression, adornment and intrusion are compressed into one closed system. The black
monochrome amplifies the object’s severity, stripping it of narrative distraction and
rendering its symbols blunt and unavoidable. What emerges is a vision of the body
reorganized into a performative structure, where desire is engineered, surfaces are
enhanced, and intimacy hardens into a ritual of control rather than connection.
