“F.R.E.D.” stands for Fascinating, Rugged, Engaging Demeanor—a sculptural character full of swagger and layered identity. With a lustered grill and a cigar that smolders with presence, the front delivers grit and attitude, while the back reveals a cartoon-like figure in full dress, flipping the narrative. It’s a dual-faced reminder that we all carry more than one persona, and sometimes what’s behind us says just as much as what’s in front.
