A original and striking 200cm tall artwork. Two Worlds War is panel number five, from a seven panel, 9.1 meters long composition titled "Urbenica", depicting scenes that trace the evolution of a constructed civilisation, from its symbolic origin to its eventual domination over life, revealing how power, system, and control progressively replace nature, balance and memory.A original and striking 200cm tall artwork. Two Worlds War is panel number five, from a seven panel, 9.1 meters long composition titled "Urbenica", depicting scenes that trace the evolution of a constructed civilisation, from its symbolic origin to its eventual domination over life, revealing how power, system, and control progressively replace nature, balance and memory.
Two Worlds War depicts the breakdown of balance and the onset of direct, organised conflict.
Two opposing forces are bound within a rigid framework where bodies and weapons merge into a single system. One side appears technologically advanced, while the other is more exposed, almost primitive in comparison. Yet the difference lies less in appearance than in the structures that support them.
A lattice of intersecting spears creates a geometric grid, enclosing both sides within the same machinery of violence. Within this system, disparity becomes evident—outcomes are shaped not by ideology, but by structural advantage.
At the base, sharp, pointed forms intensify the sense of confinement, suggesting that the conflict operates within a sealed and inescapable environment.
In "Urbenica", war is not random or chaotic; it is engineered, regulated, and ultimately unavoidable.
