The High Stakes, a high-contrast study of couturier rebellion, the piece plays on the existential weight of when — the exact microsecond a gamble turns, a memory hardens into crackled plaster, and style transcends era.

Built entirely by hand with tactile grit and dark editorial glamour; this is not just a reflection of the past; it is an interrogation of the exact moment everything shifts.

Mixed-media collage, distressed textured backing, encased by an antique wood framing.

4 × 6 in, custom rectangle frame (antique wood).
