Featured Works in Dayhim Art Society
“The Last Supper” from the Who’s HE series brings together my entire experience in cinema, visual arts (design, painting, sculpture), and installation. It features a gigantic dining table with 12 sinister figures, all resembling Who’s HE, gathered around it. Each character embodies a negative human trait, such as envy, anger, hatred, revenge, and deceit.
The protagonist of the story has separated himself from the group, suspended above the table on a large sphere, hovering above the chaos below. The installation also includes 12 smaller spheres, each representing an imagined story about one of the 12 sinister figures.
Accompanying the installation are 12 letters designed in the style of Leonardo da Vinci’s writings, serving as the biography of each sphere. Additionally, a short film based on the project is currently in production.
