acrylic on vintage Hermès box, acrylic shadowbox frame
12.5" x 12.5" x 3"
This intimate portrait isolates Kate Moss’s hands holding her Birkin, painted on a single vintage Hermès box in rich brown and orange tones. By removing the face and focusing solely on gesture, the work shifts attention from identity to presence.
The restrained palette echoes the heritage of the object itself, grounding the image in warmth and familiarity. Here, meaning is carried not by who is seen, but by what is held—suggesting how cultural value is reinforced through touch, use, and quiet repetition.
