The sculpture ‘In a Head of Whim’ blends whimsy, bitter humor, and exaggerated adornment. Its human-like form features a wide-open mouth holding a dried pomegranate—a symbol of lost passion or fruitless beauty. Metal hoop earrings and a bird feather sprouting from the head add to its fantastical and ironic expression. Using allegory, the piece critiques the emptiness of superficial embellishments and flamboyant pretense.
