Castle of Citizens plunges into a dense, dramatic landscape of conflict, myth, and psychological tension. Polito layers classical figures, shadowed creatures, and charged text fragments to create a scene that feels both ancient and eerily contemporary. The collage’s intensity comes from its interplay of battle imagery, whispered warnings, and the suggestion of an empire under strain. It’s a work that invites viewers to confront power, fear, and the quiet voice within that asks what we’ve built  and what we’ve unleashed.
