Like an exclamation mark, Siren allures and warns. The silky glass sylph invokes its namesake Sirens, mythical female figures in the islands of Ancient Greece whose songs lured sailors across turbulent seas. The fire-red text infuses the legendary figure with clear voice – a lit fuse of strength and beauty. As the viewer draws in close, the gaze locks in a one-to-one exchange and the body is mirrored in hourglass symmetry.

Notions of ancestry and blood-lines flow through the red I-form, positioned vertically like vertebrae and artery. This deep red moves between pulse and alarm, desire and danger: a colour of thresholds, carrying passion, courage, and good fortune. The slender figure reads at once as beacon and flare, suspending the viewer between seduction and alert. Amidst currents of uncertainty, Siren is a navigational force, lighting paths beyond the isolation of an Island-form.
