The recent work "ENVY" is part of a series produced in 2025. The nail at the center of this framed blank canvas gives the impression that whoever was hanging it missed their mark and nailed it at the center instead of centering it on the wall. The artwork is made of marble, a material that evokes the virtuosity of Italian Baroque sculptures, particularly in the delicate folds of fabric meticulously carved into the stone. With this choice, the artist plays on the meaning of “hanging up the cleats,” an expression for when a sportsman (or a professional in general) decides to retire.
