"I am where I come from, a thread of fate interwoven with my very being. Born to rule, destined to conquer, chosen to break others beneath my will. Favoured by blood, land, and the gods, I follow like a puppet on a gilded string. Fate grants but limited chances; privilege flickers like a fleeting echo, and I - the chosen - tread its delicate, shimmering line." — The king of the castle, the emperor of land, the taker.

Sura Kandirian's work explores the connections between privilege, destiny and identity, challenging the assumptions behind common norms we take for granted. By exposing the darker facets of privilege and the abuse of power, she questions long-held notions of authorship and ownership.How does land become property? How does a man become a king?​

Inspired by objects from old memories and past lives, Sura reconstructs these moments to bring them back to life. She uncovers the attitudes, fears and unwritten rules that shape our surroundings and dictate our behaviour. Her work invites the viewer to see beyond surface distractions, discover beauty in unexpected places and question the assumptions that define their reality.
