After Renato Bertelli
Head of Mussolini (Continuous Profile), 1933, terracotta

Society's progress is often perceived as linear, but in reality, it's shaped by the intricate interplay of historical events, personal ambition, and power dynamics. This delicate balance has given rise to our present-day cultural, technological, religious, and political landscape, which is witnessing a resurgence of authoritarianism and a preference for strongman leadership. My artwork, "Full Circle", seeks to illustrate this cyclical pattern of revolution, democracy, and dictatorship, drawing inspiration from Renato Bertelli's "Head of Mussolini" and updating it with the profile of Donald Trump, who represents the fascist face of our generation.
