Dragon Hat

Description

Dragon Hat – Headpiece

The equilibrium and its opposite.

The pursuit of equilibrium is essential while creating what I define as “Head sculptures”.

Despite the asymmetric and unbalanced aspect, the equilibrium manifests itself when the sculpture is worn.

A flame twines around the head to elevate it as the core in the perpetual research of a permanent centre of gravity.
