Shortly after its creation, my “Cupid’s Menace, Version 1: Double Heart-Ray-Guns” was invited to be exhibited in the protocol lounge of the French Pavilion at the EXPO 2025 World’s Fair in Osaka.
Since the pavilion’s theme was “An Hymn to Love,” my Cupid naturally found its place there. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to display it alongside one of my primary sources of inspiration for this work, Falconet’s “L’Amour menaçant,” produced by Sèvres.
