Darling,
I’ve always admired your ability to stay cool under pressure. Then again, it’s easy to keep a cold head when it’s neatly detached from consequences and floating in its own delusions.
They called me heartless. You called me logical. I called the doorman, paid the tab, and left before the screaming started. That’s love, isn’t it? A game of emotional chicken, where the first one to flinch loses custody of the narrative.
You were all heat and havoc. I was a martini with legs.
So yes, my dear, I kept my head. And I kept walking.
Love,
Joan
‘Cold Head’ reconfigures the traditional portrait into a symbolic machine. With pulleys, gears, a watch mechanism, and a cold water dial, this fine art collage challenges viewers to reflect on gender roles, psychological restraint, and the automation of emotional labor. Crafted with meticulous collage technique, it's ideal for collectors of pop surrealism, socio-political work, and conceptual vintage art.
