The golden crown symbolizes dignity not earned through power, but through empathy. The King is not a person—he is the soul of the city.

The skull in this artwork doesn’t represent death - it represents memory. It is the King of the city, silently listening to the voices of its people. Within its hollow eyes live stories of joy and pain, victories and failures, everyday life and turning points. This King does not rule with an iron fist - he listens. He is part of his citizens. Despite storms and chaos, he remains worthy of wearing his crown.
The golden crown symbolizes dignity not earned through power, but through empathy. The King is not a person - he is the soul of the city.
Crafted from extruded polystyrene, each layer is hand-cut and assembled to create a 3D effect. The surface is painted with matte colors, and the crown is accented with metallic gold.
The contrast between the cold, gray city and the golden crown emphasizes the tension between harsh urban reality and inner strength. The blackness in the eyes and mouth represents depth - and the silence that listens.
