Preserving an Icon is perhaps the most audacious work in the Triple Trouble collection, summoning Damien Hirst's most iconic formal gesture — the preservation of a subject in formaldehyde solution — and refracting it through Shepard Fairey's language of iconography, heroism, and cultural mythology. The use of glass, painted stainless steel, silicone, acrylic, resin, and formaldehyde solution recalls Hirst's landmark works such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, where preservation becomes a paradox — the specimen is saved from decay but removed entirely from life. Fairey's contribution elevates the subject to the status of a poster icon, the kind of flattened, reproducible hero-image that defines the OBEY movement, yet here the icon is literally suspended, frozen, and contained rather than disseminated across city walls. The tension between Hirst's fascination with endings and Fairey's belief in the immortalising power of image-making makes this collaboration electrically contradictory — is the icon being honoured or embalmed? Materially and conceptually, Preserving an Icon is a meditation on fame, mortality, and the uncomfortable lengths culture goes to in order to hold onto what it venerates.
