Duct-Taped Banana: Black reimagines a familiar gesture through material, permanence, and control. Set against a deep black, candy-coated ground, a translucent yellow banana is affixed to the surface with a strip of duct tape—instantly recognizable, yet fundamentally transformed.
 
Rendered in glossy, dimensional resin, the banana is no longer ephemeral but fixed in time—its luminous surface catching light while resisting decay. The work plays with expectation and authorship, shifting a once-temporary act into a lasting, sculptural statement.
 
Balancing humor with intention, the piece engages with ideas of value, replication, and cultural memory—offering a version that is not consumed or replaced, but preserved.
 
Hand-painted, handcrafted, and one-of-a-kind, this work is created using professional, archival-quality materials and processes, ensuring lasting color, clarity, and structural integrity over time.
 
Designed for collectors drawn to vibrant, conversation-starting contemporary art and unapologetic color, each piece is signed, dated, and uniquely numbered to document its originality and place within the artist’s evolving body of work.
