THE ARTWORK
SKULL BALLOON H018 The Criminal
The Criminal represents secrecy, concealment, lawbreaking, deception, illicit possession, evidence, and the consequences of crossing the law. A weathered human skull is completely enclosed inside a deep burgundy translucent balloon, partially concealed beneath a worn dark hood and face covering. Surrounding the skull are handcuffs, gloves, a wallet, loose banknotes, a flashlight, a lock and key, torn papers, and other evidence of a hidden criminal story. The objects are not presented as trophies. Together, they create a visual story of concealment, suspicion, and consequence. The Rebel rejected the rules. The Criminal crossed them. Same Head. Different Stories.
