BORNEO WAS DELIBERATELY TORCHED! by Metalhead Melankolis Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: MIXED MEDIA Dimensions: 9 x 13 cm Year: 2026 Status: available BORNEO WAS DELIBERATELY TORCHED! Why collect this work?A narrow stack of cut-out figures and devices turns the painted field into contested terrain, linking the title’s allegation of deliberate burning to a compressed image of human control and animal vulnerability. The artist profile describes Metalhead Melankolis as a poet and collage practitioner concerned with social and political unrest. The forceful title gives this otherwise discontinuous imagery the directness of an accusation.In the supplied photograph, an ape’s face and body appear low in the central structure, crowded by hands, limbs, equipment, and a barrel-like projection. Surrounding strokes of blue, green, pink, and orange suggest upheaval without depicting a literal fire.The documented mixed media combines printed fragments with painted marks. Collage preserves each clipping’s abrupt edge, while overlaps confuse ownership of bodies and tools, making responsibility difficult to separate from destruction.At the catalogued 9 by 13 centimetres, the work gives a geographically vast subject an unusually intimate scale. Encountering it closely makes environmental catastrophe register through bodily entanglement rather than panoramic spectacle.
