This work extends the series of mask-like sculptures, using industrial detritus to evoke a face that feels both ancestral and mechanical. Arranged with striking symmetry, cylindrical pipes form the eyes and snout-like nose, while rectangular cut-outs and spherical elements suggest cheeks and features that blur between human, animal, and machine. The elongated central vertical pipe dominates the form, giving it a totemic presence, almost like a guardian figure suspended on the wall.
The earthy brown surface, recalling rusted iron, enhances the sense of age and ritual, as if the piece is an artifact unearthed from a forgotten culture. Yet the rawness of the cuts and welds insistently point back to its industrial origins, keeping the tension alive between the past and the modern, the sacred and the utilitarian. Together with the earlier mask-forms, this sculpture builds a vocabulary of industrial masks that transform waste into icons, inviting viewers to see spirit and identity in the most unlikely fragments.
