Within the Table examines power as a constructed and replaceable system rather than a personal identity. The larger seated figures are intentionally assembled through layered collage, creating surfaces that appear manufactured rather than organic. Their faceless forms emphasize anonymity and interchangeability, suggesting that authority does not belong to individuals but to the structure that produces them.
The smaller figures appear more visually grounded and materially closer to lived reality. In contrast, the elevated figures remain distant and insulated. Their scale suggests dominance, yet their constructed presence reveals that power is assembled, curated, and ultimately replaceable.
The table functions not merely as furniture, but as a stabilizing structure, a platform where hierarchy is maintained and reinforced. What unfolds beneath it is not spectacle, but consequence. The work questions how systems of influence are built, protected, and sustained from within, often remaining detached from the realities they shape.
Through deliberate layering and surface construction, the piece asserts that authority is not natural or inevitable — it is designed, reproduced, and preserved inside the very structures that appear to legitimize it.
