"XIII 7" is structured like a grid, almost like a catalog, with flowers, fruits, and mushrooms arranged in shapes that hint at sexuality. Through this playful setup, the artist presents a lighthearted take on humanity and its sexuality. He encourages us to celebrate our bodies without taking ourselves too seriously. The number XIII, in Roman numerals, represents transformation and rebirth for the artist, while the number 7, a symbol of good luck, brings a positive twist to this transformation.
