This series features iridescent, levitating models of oil drills that rotate gently, as if drilling into the sky. Resembling architectural designs, like a modern Tower of Babel, the sculptures symbolize humanity’s relentless ambition to ascend, driven by the pursuit of wealth and power. Reflecting on the riches generated by oil exploration, the work critiques the toxic cycle of greed and domination, captured in an endless, spiraling motion.
