Artwork description:

This manipulated black-and-white photograph reimagines the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe, placing her inside a towering martini glass against a backdrop of modern skyscrapers. The composition merges classic Hollywood glamour with the geometry of contemporary urban architecture, creating a surreal dialogue between timeless femininity and the towering structures of the modern metropolis. The oversized cocktail glass becomes both a stage and a vessel, symbolizing the way pop culture consumes and reframes its icons. The playful elegance of Marilyn’s famous pose contrasts with the rigid vertical lines of the city, offering a striking meditation on desire, spectacle, and the enduring mythology of celebrity in a mechanized world. Art print on paper signed on the front. Certificate of authenticity.
