A striking and provocative work by artist Farek, Temptation is a hand-formed barbed wire sculpture shaped in the unmistakable contour of a female derrière. The piece balances raw industrial material with sensual form — the coiled, thorned wire simultaneously suggesting allure and danger, beauty and barrier.
Mounted on a mechanical gear base that adds an industrial, steampunk quality, the sculpture commands attention as a tabletop statement piece. The interplay of light through the open wire structure gives it a dynamic, ever-changing presence depending on where it's displayed.
