Abdication of Identity is a bronze sculpture depicting a suited figure seated in quiet submission, holding his own head in his hands, yet that head has been replaced by a television. The gesture is not one of struggle, but of acceptance. The figure does not resist; instead, he willingly participates in his own transformation.

The work explores the voluntary surrender of identity in the age of technology and social media. Rather than being overpowered, the subject relinquishes autonomy, outsourcing thought, perception, and selfhood to a machine. In this way, the sculpture shifts the narrative from external control to internal complicity.

While not explicitly referential, the piece draws conceptual lineage from Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, where the omnipresent screen mediates truth and dictates reality. Here, however, the control is not enforced, it is chosen. The television becomes both a surrogate mind and a symbol of passive consumption, reflecting a contemporary condition in which identity dissolves not through coercion, but through consent.
