POP GUN
Acrylic and mixed media on canvas, incorporating resin, and embedded objects and .38 Special Casings.
24 x 18 in. (60.9 x 45.7 cm)
The juxtaposition between the softened firearm image and the intimate object of the pouch creates a tension between protection and vulnerability. Mounted using .38 Special casings, the work suggests the complex realities surrounding safety, autonomy, and self-preservation, particularly as they relate to women’s lived experiences. The handgun becomes less an object of force and more an emblem of concealed reassurance, fear, or necessity — something simultaneously hidden and emotionally charged.
