Spectre is a work of free-standing, hollowed-out brass panels. At two meters in height, the towering shape is reminiscent of a monster or ghost, and its shining golden appearance feels mystical, like a god or an angel. White traces on the surface enhance the piece’s three-dimensional effect, and its gentle shape recalls the form of both a bedsheet ghost and the draping cloth worn by the Virgin Mary. However, the shape is, in fact, that of a hanging bathrobe.
