RIP (Rest In Peace)

The empty box mimicking the shape of an AK-47 is meant to be a gift to America. The detail suggesting that of a coffin aspires to bring back the assault rifle ban that Bill Clinton had already passed in 1994, which expired in 2004 under George W. Bush.

This hand-made box, immediately recognizable as an AK-47, (the most famous rifle ubiquitously copied and produced around the world), while calling for an assault weapon ban, celebrates the popularity, effectiveness and elegance of design of the rifle; The designer Mikhail Kalashnikov intended it solely for military use, as there is no reason for any civilians needing a 30 (or higher) round magazine semi-automatic weapons to protect him/herself or hunt animals. The empty box also denotes this particular rifle being illegal to be sold in the US since Obama’s ban on Russian made guns since 2009, although the sales of assault rifles of our own, AR-15, and AR-16 went up exponentially to replace the AK-47. (through the marketing of NRA, incessantly fueling paranoia, that “Obama was going to take away your guns”)

The box is painted in silver, representing bullets, and “l’argent (in French), as a symbol of money since the old testament.
