Original Artwork 18×24, wax/metallic/airdry clay 1of1
Gain the World visualizes the cost of trading the soul for worldly gain. Inspired by "What does it profit a man...," (Mathew 16:26 ) It shows a man suffocated by molten gold—opulent above, hellish beneath—his scream swallowed by metal. Heavy, dripping textures and a tight palette of burnished yellows and metallics convey weight and entrapment; gleaming beauty becomes bondage. The work warns against an unchecked appetite and avarice: pursuits that promise power can leave us hollow, a stark reminder to weigh desire against what we risk losing.
