Fatal Attraction

In my piece titled "Fatal Attraction," I approached my art with a playful touch, balancing intention with the appeal of cute aesthetics.

The shark, a creature evoking danger and fear, serves as the central motif. My sculpture narrates a tale of how individuals can be lured into trusting their partners, despite warning signs.

A heart-shaped bait in the shark's mouth symbolizes love used to ensnare unsuspecting prey, mirroring the dynamics of domestic violence where affection is twisted into manipulation. The shark's surface is adorned with bras, imbuing it with a softness that belies its predatory nature, inviting viewers with an alluring charm.

The illusion of kindness draws in fish, only to be ensnared by the shark's teeth. However, my focus isn't on the capture itself, but on the resilience of the smarter fish, symbolized by their adeptness in adjusting the bra straps to escape temptation.

While my work may exude softness, its underlying message speaks to independence and cunning necessary for navigating the complexities of contemporary life.
