Future Baby Boy 2014

"Future Baby Boy" (2014) by Joseph Pace is a mixed-media sculpture crafted from a myriad of beads, jewels, and other trinkets. The piece depicts a baby in a crawling position, its body and limbs entirely covered in an intricate mosaic of glittering materials. Pace's work often explores themes of consumerism and the fetishization of material wealth, using found objects to create both beautiful and thought-provoking sculptures. The intricate detail and shimmering surface of "Future Baby Boy" invites the viewer to consider the nature of value and the impact of material possessions on our perception of the world.
