A gold-plated bronze spade emerges from a bed of charred wood and black pigment, merging the symbolic weight of labor and struggle with the transformative power of material contrast. Rhode bridges the elemental and the ornate, elevating a common tool of toil into an object of reverence while the surrounding ash and darkness speak to cycles of destruction and renewal. The work embodies the artist's enduring exploration of urban myth, body, and resistance, rooting grand historical narratives in the physicality of everyday objects.
