Eva Futura 2013

"Eva Futura" (2013) by Joseph Pace is a mixed-media sculpture that appears to be a female torso, completely covered in a multitude of small objects, including beads, buttons, and metal pieces. Pace's work often explores themes of identity and the human condition, and the intricate layering of objects in this piece may represent the complex layers of human experience. The use of found objects in this assemblage suggests a sense of history and the accumulation of time. The work's overall aesthetic is both decorative and slightly unsettling, perhaps referencing the pressures of societal beauty standards.
