About the work
Cubeheads are original symbolic figures designed and refined by Alexander Martini over several years. They are part of a modular poetic system that explores transformation, memory, and mythic resonance through sculptural logic and visual storytelling.
Core Design: Each Cubehead features a massive cube-shaped head — cracked, aged, and marked with patina — resembling a cosmic relic from a lost civilization.
Body: Compact and cloaked in flowing robes, carved from imagined materials like aged gold, obsidian, or crystal.
Throne: Mechanical and ornamental, often embedded with gears, arches, and ancient symbols — a fusion of ritual and machinery.
Symbolism: Cubeheads embody paradoxes — rigidity and fluidity, memory and motion, silence and presence. They are not characters, but manifest figures: each one a vessel for poetic transformation.
Evolution: The first Cubehead sketches and prototypes emerged in 2019, evolving through iterative sculptural studies, digital simulations, and symbolic refinements.
Function: Cubeheads are used across multiple formats — designer toys, poetic installations, book illustrations, and ritual objects. They are part of a larger mythic system that includes the LoveAstronaut, Thronebearers, and other symbolic entities.
