Evdokia Georgiou

In this striking work by Evdokia Georgiou, the form of a grenade — a symbol of destruction, violence, and war — is rendered in translucent resin with soft hues of turquoise and traces of bleeding red. This juxtaposition between material and meaning evokes immediate tension: the object, usually associated with brutality, is transformed into something fragile, almost beautiful. The red stain at the top hints at blood or internal rupture, a silent testimony to human cost hidden beneath political rhetoric.

Georgiou’s technique of using cast resin allows for the illusion of suspended fluidity, giving the grenade a preserved, almost clinical quality. It becomes less a weapon and more a relic, a specimen for contemplation. Through this aesthetic disarmament, the artist invites viewers to question the normalisation of violence and how easily tools of harm can be aestheticised or sanitized.

This piece reflects on the seductive danger of power — how violence can be packaged, sold, or glorified. It challenges the viewer to look beyond surface and symbolism, to confront what lies beneath systems of control and destruction, and to reflect on their complicity or detachment from the real consequences of conflict.
