"Rite of Destruction" combines highly structured clay, porcelain, oxides, found objects, performance, and gold to explore the rituals of consumption and decay. The artist-activist Agius' approach criticizes the human impact on nature, highlighting the destruction caused by unsustainable development and referencing the transformation and trauma of matter through natural disasters. Embracing the blue clay and fertile earth before their loss to concrete, the rugged surface of his ceramics and the golden, fragmented bricks reflect the fragile yet enduring bond between humanity and the natural world.
