Hollow Gold dismantles the notion of value as mass. The work presents precious material emptied of dominance, treated as vessel rather than assertion.
The gold does not announce wealth; it frames absence. Mechanical remnants sit lightly within, suggesting that worth now derives from balance, not accumulation.
This piece articulates a post-extractive ethic within the Hunter Collection — one where survival depends on restraint and redistribution.
