      <image:caption>How To Eat A Human Being, 2025. Cold-rolled steel sheets cut, welded, and weathered with patina. Spear made of solid steel articulated through plasma cutting, welding, grinding, polishing, and aged with patina. Jointed poleyn and greave forged with heat, weathered with patina, raised and shaped through hammering. Burned wool adapted in fire. Physical articulation of the transition from adolescence into adulthood. A confusing period in life as I prepared to graduate from university and face the world alone. This work is inspired by a social media trend among young men, "Imagine bleeding out here." Usually depicted through beautifully surreal and lonely landscapes that latch onto the primal urge that young men feel to sacrifice themselves for something much larger than themselves. With much to fight for in this new chapter of my life, there was no option but growth. A boy becomes a man when he realizes he has no enemies and puts down arms with the intention of letting go of the war within him. My upbringing was the construction of a warrior and a protector. I was not taught, but battle-hardened. The extremities of my youth had later paralyzed me, forcing an evolution in my being. Daunting, tall, war-torn pillars of destruction that inhabit the foundation of my disposition are left behind, along with the delicate, singed blankets I once coddled and the torturous arms I traded them for. Raised by wolves, yet I still cheat like a man—spear and armor representing the insecure defenses I once relied on in the aim of self-preservation and saving those I cared for. In the aftermath of non-political warfare, I cease licking old wounds to prepare for the next step.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Physical articulation of the transition from adolescence into adulthood. A confusing period in life as I prepared to graduate from university and face the world alone. This work is inspired by a social media trend among young men, "Imagine bleeding out here." Usually depicted through beautifully surreal and lonely landscapes that latch onto the primal urge that young men feel to sacrifice themselves for something much larger than themselves.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>With much to fight for in this new chapter of my life, there was no option but growth. A boy becomes a man when he realizes he has no enemies and puts down arms with the intention of letting go of the war within him. My upbringing was the construction of a warrior and a protector. I was not taught, but battle-hardened. The extremities of my youth had later paralyzed me, forcing an evolution in my being. Daunting, tall, war-torn pillars of destruction that inhabit the foundation of my disposition are left behind, along with the delicate, singed blankets I once coddled and the torturous arms I traded them for. Raised by wolves, yet I still cheat like a man—spear and armor representing the insecure defenses I once relied on in the aim of self-preservation and saving those I cared for. In the aftermath of non-political warfare, I cease licking old wounds to prepare for the next step.</image:caption>
