Kubrik

Kubrik is a ceramic object combining the grotesque with play, irony with emotional depth. At its centre is a green cube whose eyes are concealed in a dark cavity, like an inner observer unable to make direct contact with the outside world. A long, removable tongue extends from its “mouth”. This detail adds another layer of meaning: the tongue becomes a symbol of speech and of the ability—or inability—to express feelings. Removing it can suggest hiding emotions or “swallowing one’s words”; putting it back can give voice to what is held within.

The work explores boundaries between inner and outer worlds, the physical and the psychological, control and spontaneity. Through an absurd, cartoon-like form, the artist conveys emotional overload, uncertainty and the desire to be heard. Its bright palette and exaggerated forms recall the imagination of childhood, where serious concerns often hide behind play.

Kubrik is more than a character: it is a portable vessel for emotions in which viewers may recognise their own inner states—withdrawal, confusion, protest or an attempt to speak.
