DRACO TOYS SOLDIERS

Unique Piece

DRACO TOYS SOLDIERS
A replica of the compact AK-47 assault rifle of Romanian origin, emblematic of contemporary urban culture in the United States. Here, it has been entirely reconstructed into miniature soldiers. Aligned, glued, and compacted, they form the frame of a rifle that has become a symbol of violence, but also of survival, identity, and resistance.

This work creates a dialogue between warlike aesthetics and social reality. The soldiers do not represent an official army, but an army of streets and neighborhoods, fighting to exist, to express themselves, and not to disappear.

The DRACO TOYS SOLDIERS is not a call to war, but a metaphor for chaos, especially that present in the street: that of a world where, for some, violence is structural and sometimes incorporated from childhood.
