This Baroque-inspired sculpture is reminiscent of a creature from science fiction while simultaneously evoking computer viruses that spread at terrifying speeds through invisible spaces. The sculptural elements, seemingly derived from the bodies and costumes of futuristic female warriors found in Japanese animation and manga, spark the intense curiosity and imagination of today’s digital generation.
