lead cable and satin ribbon
A dense, tangled mass of lead cable intertwines with lengths of lustrous satin ribbon, creating a striking tension between industrial weight and delicate femininity. Tunga's work explores the poetic dialogue between opposing materials, where the rigid, malleable metal and the soft, flowing textile become locked in an intimate, almost organic embrace. The piece embodies the artist's recurring fascination with transformation, desire, and the charged relationships between seemingly incompatible substances.
