This work plays with the language of power and competition. The gun, carved entirely from the Tienqa pattern, strips the weapon of its violence and turns it into a fragile construction of lines. It is both a weapon and not a weapon, an image that questions what strength really means.
The title echoes street bravado, the need to dominate through size and force. Yet here, the gun is made of connection, not destruction. It becomes a reminder that even in the symbols of fear and control, everything is connected.
