Blood for Birkins

Blood for Birkins (2019)
Acrylic and spray paint on wood panel

Provocative, bold, and unflinchingly stylish, Blood for Birkins captures the intersection of luxury, desire, and sacrifice. This striking work features the lower half of a woman in a short, sensual dress, legs crossed with elegance and confidence, perched in high heels. In one hand, she clutches the ultimate status symbol — a Birkin bag — while the other hand dangles a bleeding heart pierced by an arrow, a haunting symbol of emotional cost in the pursuit of beauty and power.

Painted with a raw blend of acrylic and spray paint on wood panel, this piece challenges viewers to confront the trade-offs we make for identity, love, and image. Rich in metaphor and unapologetic in style, it’s a conversation starter — and a collector’s piece.
