A ceramic sculpture that plays with strength, identity, and performance. Dressed in a form-fitting shirt and tailored trousers, the figure exudes a carefully constructed masculinity—confident, rigid, almost theatrical.
The crisp belt, symmetrical pleats, and firm stance suggest a character who is always “put together.” Yet the absence of a face or arms removes agency and emotion, leaving only posture and presentation. What remains is a projection—of control, of expectation, of armor disguised as fashion.
The Macho walks the line between tribute and critique. It raises a quiet question: is this power, or just the costume of it?"
