London Bridge-Through the Shattered Lens of Empire
This artwork reflects on the rise and fall of British power. Once, the sun never set on the British Empire, a symbol of strength and global dominance. Today, that might is a memory. Through a broken sheet of glass, the viewer sees London Bridge-not as a monument of pride, but as a fragile, weakened structure. The fractured glass mirrors the fragility of power and the passage of time, showing the empire as poor, helpless, and vulnerable in the present. It is a meditation on impermanence, decline, and the distorted lens through which history is often viewed.
