The Collection

Inspired by the Rodney King riots, Cave channeled the turmoil of that period into the concept of a protective suit of armor. Rather than emphasize the brutality, conflict, or racism, Cave wanted to make sure to "make the armor beautiful". In 2025, the work was updated with even more elaborate detailing and visual richness, enhancing its presence and reinforcing its transformation from a symbol of violence into one of empowerment.
