The Corten Kiss… of Death: A Fantasy Novel with a Magical Curse



The Stone is roughly 30 cm (12 in.) in diameter, and 1.5 meters (5 ft.) above the ground. When pilgrims circle the Kaaba as part of the Tawaf ritual of the Hajj, many of them try, if possible, to stop and kiss the Black Stone, emulating the kiss that it received from the Islamic prophet Muhammad. If they cannot reach it, they are to point to it on each of their seven circuits around the Kaaba. The Stone is broken into a number of pieces from damage which was inflicted during the Middle Ages. The pieces are held together by a silver frame, which is fastened by silver nails to the Stone.


Koru is a Māori word for a spiral shape based on an unfurling fern frond, a symbol of creation. Pond's work is often influenced by cycles of nature, and rendered in corten steel, highlighting the contradictions of the human experience.




The Corten Kiss… of death.



Carter asked about the Sokovia Accords, to which Rogers suggested that he might take some time off, not wishing to sign. However, Carter knew that he would not be able to retire from the Avengers, questioning how often he had his uniform in his closet, while also making her fondness for the uniform clear to him.[6] Sometime later, Rogers walked Carter back to her hotel, as they talked about how she joined S.H.I.E.L.D.. Carter reflected that, while her mother opposed her desire to enlist, Peggy supported her from the beginning. When they reached the elevator, Carter thanked Rogers for walking her back. While waiting, she was about to move in for a kiss when they were interrupted by Sam Wilson, who had shocking news.[5]


When Carter noticed Barnes, she told Rogers that he tried to kill her and Rogers apologized on his behalf. Rogers warned Carter that in helping them, she would now be hunted, too, which Carter was aware of. Rogers thanked Carter once again before kissing her passionately, deciding to finally make a move, as they both agreed that it took so long to get there. Carter then left the three, and proceeded to go on the run,[5] as her actions made her an enemy of the state.[2]


Sharon Carter was initially guided by a strong moral compass and was not afraid to speak out when her ethics are challenged. She held a high opinion of and belief in Steve Rogers, due to stories of him passed down from her aunt and from how often the two would see each other due to her being assigned to watch over him; during this assignment, the two developed a romantic interest in one another, eventually sharing a kiss, the two of them joking that it was "late". Because of this, she sided with him despite Rogers protecting the Winter Soldier which the CIA she was by then working for was after and accepted the trouble she would be in for it.


Stainless steel, tinted acrylic rod, fastenersInstallation with two elementsElectric Kiss ia a shelter-objects partly inspired by the flattened tear drop shape of the classic chocolate kiss, which emanates from the way liquids behave under the force of gravity.The shape of the Electric Kiss can be likened to that of the Russian onion dome.It is believed that that onion domes were borrowed by Russians from Muslim countries.However, even though I wish these associations to be present, the work firmly associates itself to the tear drop shape, and, more specifically, the occasion at which the classic chocolate kiss emanates.This association, in my mind, most accurately ties the physical act of kissing to an architectural shape since the narrowing of the top portion of the structure is parallel to drawing in a breath at the ending of a gentle kiss.The electrifying and pulsing light then carries this association from the domain of architecture into the realm of theater, or perhaps, dance.


Project for Osnabruck, Germany.Two elements.Water jet cut corten steel, rotating motor, timer, lights.The starting point for Battle Drums was the Varus Battle of 9 A.D. which took place near the site.It is this swirl of death, here shown in revolving light, which underlines the universal outcome of all wars.The battle was a massive attack employing thousands of spears hurdled into the air which rained on trapped and confused approaching Romans soldiers.Like a torrential rain storm, long steel spears fell upon the approaching soldiers.Battle Drums focuses on this action and subjects it to motorized revolutions of a turntable producing an endless pattern of cascading spears over and over again on the Romans figures.


Everything about the 6-acre space feels like a call to rise up in the name of each life. A sacred psalm comes to mind. When mercy and truth meet, righteousness and peace kiss, and justice is merciful.


Cuando Bakugou comenzó a cortar verduras a la velocidad del rayo y con una eficiencia increíble, Eijirou estaba demasiado asombrado por un momento como para siquiera parpadear. Y luego el rubio miró directamente a la cámara y apuntó con el cuchillo como si fuera una amenaza, "usa la parte frontal plana de tus dedos para evitar que se corten. O... te cortaré". Gruñó y alargó la mano para abrir otro botón de su camisa.


CARESSE MA LANGUE AVEC LA TIENNE (caress my tongue with yours) is written with maca powder and placed on a concrete slab table. The sentence recalls, obviously, a languorous kiss but that is the image of cultural exchange too, a meeting, a melting. The maca is a plant with many virtues, including that of increased sexual desire.Installation, steel, concrete, wood, maca powder, 170x30x100cm.
