Chukar Chandelier illustrates the story of desire surrounding the Indian myth of the chukar, a bird native to South Asia and the national bird of Pakistan, which is said to be in love with the moon and gazes at it continuously. For this stunning chandelier. 110 brilliant cast chukar skulls are arranged in hanging flock formation. At once elegant and macabre, these bronze skulls plated in 14 - carat gold provide an allegory for the loss and disconnection experienced in human immigrations, a central theme to Mao’s work that addresses the complications of cultural hybridization, correlating human social behavior, and functions of natural systems.

This Yellowpop LED neon sign, inspired by Basquiat's poignant use of skulls, is more than just a piece of home decor; it's a cultural statement. With its bold palette and abstract brush strokes, Untitled (Skull) captures Basquiat’s unique use of color and line to express life in an otherwise dead subject. Skulls are a frequent focus in Basquiat’s artwork, each capturing the artist’s energy and sporadic style of mark-making. This sign is not just a light source; it's a beacon of heritage and history, casting a glow that's as meaningful as it is mesmerizing. It's a perfect piece for those who appreciate art with depth and wish to illuminate their space with a symbol rich in visual artistry and cultural significance.
