Mon Bonheur

Mon Bonheur consists of two sphinxes resting on plinths, their bodies amalgamated with symbols of corporate power and the mighty fossil fuel industry. In these twin sculptures, two eras of immeasurable economic disparity – pharaonic and late-capitalist – encounter each other in continuity and difference. The concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small elite (whose happiness, indeed?) seems to belong to all ages. But where the pyramids and the Sphinx at Gizeh still stand after thousands of years, many present-day tokens of wealth accumulation, like the office buildings or the oil jacks, might not survive the next century. Meanwhile, the Sphinxes seem boxed in or cut off to fit an invisible container, a glass encasing to shelter them from further degradation, as if they and the world they’re caught up in are already relegated to history.
