Man of War reimagines the marine creature of the same name—a striking organism composed of multiple beings acting as one. Known for its poisonous tentacles, which can stretch up to 30 meters, and its delicate, gas-filled chamber that keeps it afloat, the creature embodies a paradox: it is both powerful and fragile, a single entity sustained by collective interdependence. The work questions the concept of individuality in a world shaped by crises, urging reflection on collective identity and the interconnectedness of life in the face of shared vulnerability.
