Dorifor is a reminiscence of the famous experience of the ancient sculptor Praxiteles in creating the canon of the ideal male figure. In the 21st century, the ideal of muscularity increasingly depends on the fleeting trends of fashion. The glistening style of the inflated brutal macho man with a beard, extensible in show business, can be called the image of the hero of our time. However, at the moment there is every reason to believe that sexual objectification of the body is no longer an exclusively female prerogative. Weld Queen as an artist directly transforms the male sex symbol of modernity into an OBJECT, the main function of which is the representation of sexual potentials.

Alexandra Weld Queen is a contemporary Russian sculptor and performer. She creates interactive metal objects and installations that merge steel bars with emptiness, mythologizing her artist weld identity while doing so. These works represent materiality and spiritual space.

Weld Queen mostly uses metal, welding, and fire-resistant tarpaulin in her work. As a result, her artist mythology is expressed through metal sculptures, royal costumes, performances, and public art. When a visitor interacts with the sculpture, they acquire their own unique experience, and his presence gives the artwork a special value. With direct audience participation, the object is conceptually completed.
