WAR – from the series Four Horsemen

The work represents the Rider War from the series Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

It was created from a metal ring base, marked by deliberate tool traces and acts of force, and filled with volcanic sand, ash, fragments of ammunition casings, and gold leaf sealed in resin.

War is not depicted as heroism or myth, but as a conscious human decision—the moment when order collapses into violence. The materials reference both destruction and profit: remnants of weapons alongside precious metal, scars alongside ornament.

By sealing these elements into a wearable object, the piece confronts the viewer with the proximity of violence. War is not distant or abstract; it is manufactured, handled, and carried forward by human hands.

The Rider War does not belong to the past. He is a figure of escalation, responsibility, and repetition—shaping the present through choices made in the shadows.
