LIVING ICONS

Living Icons explores the strange endurance of cultural symbols. From ancient sculpture to childhood toys, luxury brands to confectionery, each work asks how familiar icons acquire new meanings as they move through time. By collapsing the boundaries between high art and popular culture, history and consumerism, CP KATE reveals that icons are never fixed. They evolve with us, reflecting our desires, values, contradictions, and collective memory. They are not relics of the past—they are living participants in contemporary culture.
