Art Nail (after Holbein and Gulsan): This study revisits a detail from Holbein’s Dead Christ — the hand marked by the stigmata and the roughness of the nails — and confronts it with a contemporary hand, adorned with long, decorated nails.
The encounter between sacred motif and nail art creates a tension between flesh and surface, vulnerability and artifice.
Set against a painted background in shades of green, grey, and pink, the hand becomes at once a trace, a memory, and a renewed image of the body.
Framed in light wood, the work unfolds as a meditation on gesture, touch, and the transformation of the sacred in contemporary visual culture.
Vanity: So many futile efforts to hold mist between our fingers.
Vanity of vanities — all is vanity.
