Desire Flows Empty into the Sea
Name: Hugo Zelada Romero
Title of Piece: Desire Flows Empty into the Sea
Size: 4x8x5 inches
Medium: HYPER PLA 3D PRINT, DIGITAL COLLAGE
Price: 250
Description: “Desire Flows Empty into the Sea” HyperPLA 3D print, digital collage of the Bruce from “Finding Nemo”, a lighthouse, a droplet, mounted on metal hardware. This sculpture presents a layered narrative where cinematic references blur the lines between control and chaos, instinct and reflection. The lighthouse, inspired by Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, symbolizes isolation, madness, and mythic descent, is given a queer reading. This is further reflected in Bruce, the shark from Finding Nemo, whose ironic mantra, “Fish are friends, not food,” both conceals and amplifies his latent violence. The relationship between Bruce and the droplet, whether blood, semen, or water, embodies the mutability of desire, slipping between complex terrain where desire is both nourishing and dangerous.
