“Iron Head“ embodies the soul of forgotten objects, reassembled to breathe new life into discarded fragments of history. Built from the aged shell of a military helmet, vintage typewriter parts, worn leather, and remnants of an old Meccano set, this sculpture blurs the line between artifact and automaton.
Far from static, Iron Head is endowed with movement — able to advance, reverse, and pivot through remote control — making it not just a relic, but a living memory. Its mechanical gaze, fashioned from spools and worn gears, captures the viewer with a sense of curious resilience, while the chrome nose and metallic mouth evoke a mischievous humanity.
The battered helmet atop its head serves as a powerful reminder of the past: of endurance, of survival, and of the silent witnesses to human history. In reanimating these once-forgotten materials, Iron Head questions the boundaries between the organic and the mechanical, between obsolescence and rebirth.
Through this work, I seek to honor the beauty of decay, the poetry of old machinery, and the enduring spirit that persists even in the most unexpected forms.
