Sea Horse (Hippocampus) (2026) is a surreal silk textile artwork conceived for wall display. In this intricately detailed composition, a monumental seahorse becomes a wandering home, carrying an architecture of rooms and private lives both above and below the waterline.
The work reimagines the familiar story of the Trojan Horse: what if it had never been a weapon, but instead offered shelter to people far from home? Travelling between sea and land, reality and myth, the creature embodies the tension between journey and belonging, vulnerability and protection, danger and comfort.
On closer inspection, small domestic scenes emerge inside its body, transforming the mythical creature into an intimate world of everyday life. This interplay of scale, storytelling and spatial distortion invites the viewer to explore themes of migration, displacement and the human need to create a home wherever we find ourselves.
“Why do we need this horse in Troy?”
“There are several reasons, boy,”
Replied the horse in a deep baritone:
“A shelter’s nice when you’re far from home.”
The piece is suited to collectors of surreal, symbolic and narrative contemporary art and is intended to be displayed as textile wall art or framed fabric art. It is produced as a numbered limited edition and accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity. The artwork will be carefully packed and dispatched from the United Kingdom within 7 working days.Size, Material & Care
