What arises when fictional enterprises probe the systems defining artistic autonomy, labor, and the complex social and material forces shaping diverse cultural and economic values? These self-sustaining, often absurd ventures operate not as market-driven enterprises but as conceptual instruments probing the often-invisible dynamics that govern creative work and its place within broader socioeconomic frameworks. The resulting sculptures and installations inhabit a complex space where they simultaneously mimic and critique existing economic and industrial frameworks, interrogating their assumptions and limitations while proposing alternative modalities of production and value that challenge conventional art market dynamics. Driven by a desire to reclaim agency and resist social alienation, these works merge fiction and utility as forms of critical intervention and imaginative resistance.
