THIS WILL DESTROY YOU began as an organic representation of life, death, rebirth, and the choices we make in between. In the center of the piece is an abstract skull--a face in decay. A bright red highlights the figure's macabre smile, a dark reminder that no matter the choices we make in life, death greets us all the same. The tension between the gravity and meaninglessness of free will is a paradox that has shaped TAKI. This work serves as a reminder that though we strive for fulfillment, we don't escape what life offers us.
