Hans van der Veen | Fool #71 Superbia
3D-collage, 20,6 x 13,0 x 4,0 cm, july 2024 (original title: de koning)

7 is a magic and almost holy number: 7 days a week, 7 plagues, 7 works of mercy...

And 7 sins:
Superbia (vanity), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (intemperance), Ira (fury), Acedia (laziness).

I translated them in my book boxes based on men and my own experiences...

Bookboxes were existing books, I gave them a new life by deleting the pages and building inside the original cover a 3D collage.
