Motomotive (Steampunk Roadster) Acrylic Glass Contemporary Sculpture

This work turns the locomotive into a cutaway reliquary, where the red carapace reads as both skin and signal—an urgent, almost arterial color that insists on motion even in stillness. Beneath it, the exposed white mechanics unfold like a diagram of desire: precision rendered as ornament, the disciplined cadence of industry made strangely intimate. The sharp contrast between saturated body and skeletal understructure stages a meditation on modern power—how progress seduces through sleek surfaces while depending on a complex, hidden anatomy of labor and force. Suspended between object and icon, it becomes a portrait of velocity’s myth: beautiful, engineered, and quietly consuming.
