“Unstable Icon” reworks a recognizable historical image, transforming it into a fluid and unstable vision. The scene, originally charged with tension and symbolic meaning, is deformed until its contours become uncertain, as if observed through a substance in constant movement.

The figures emerge and disappear at the same time, trapped on a surface that seems to melt. This process does not destroy the image, but challenges it, suspending it between memory and transformation.

The work reflects on the fragility of icons and their ability to change over time: what was once a symbol of strength and identity becomes something unstable here, open to new interpretations. An image that no longer asserts itself as truth, but dissolves to make room for a more emotional and contemporary perception.

Work on canvas 350 g/m², mounted on a fir wood frame. Frame not included.
