The statue of Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty II

Pharaoh Menkawara & his wife re-imagined. Giclee print. 2021.

The serene Egyptian statue of Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty II was unearthed on January 18, 1910 and is the inspiration for the above work. A sense of eternity and immortality flows from the statue so I decided to incorporate electric pylons and a Moroccan woman on her phone into the composition. The nearly life size statue dates from 2490–2472 B.C.E.
