This portrait merges ancient Egyptian spiritual symbolism with the aesthetics of contemporary Western political power. The scarab-headed figure evokes Khepri, the god of rebirth and the morning sun, reimagined here as a modern authority figure. By replacing the human face with a divine insect, the piece questions personal identity, charisma, and self-deification in leadership. The red tie and American flag pin offer unmistakable cues — both visual and ideological.
Part of the trilogy, this work functions as an allegory of power, image construction, and cyclical dominance.
