In "Bomb In", Evdokia Georgiou presents a striking juxtaposition of domestic elegance and latent violence. The sculpture features a hand grenade seamlessly fused with the base of a decorative candlestick, rendered in wax and other mixed media. This fusion of a symbol of war with an object associated with warmth and ritual invites the viewer into a space of discomfort — a contemplation of how violence can infiltrate even the most intimate, decorative, and supposedly safe environments.

Georgiou’s use of wax again plays a critical role. Wax, a fragile and impermanent material, contrasts sharply with the solid, menacing form of the grenade. The translucent quality of the medium allows the object to feel both present and ghostly — like a memory or threat that lingers. This tension creates a haunting metaphor for the hidden or normalized presence of aggression, particularly within domestic or societal structures that often mask conflict with civility or beauty.

Through minimalist intervention and deliberate object selection, Georgiou's work critiques the overlap of violence and vulnerability. "Bomb In" becomes a commentary on the volatile undercurrents beneath polished surfaces — personal, political, or both. The piece challenges the viewer to reckon with what lies beneath the façade, reminding us that destruction does not always announce itself loudly — sometimes, it sits quietly, hidden in plain sight.
