This piece focuses on an alternate reality to our character, where they pretend to be someone that they are not in order to gain the approval of others, otherwise known as a Masquerade.
In this scene, the spotlight is on our zebra friend, and they are covered in a costume of Pepe the Frog, a popular character in the crypto culture. This piece shows the zebra sat, bathing within the spotlight of a crowded audience of an auction all with their gazes focused solely on the zebra figure, as if to symbolise that they are all mesmerised by the figure because he is dressed as a character that the masses love.
The Pepe costume looks sad, as if it wishes not to be worn despite it being an inanimate feature of clothing, you still feel a sense of pity for both the frog and the zebra.
The audience is all placing bids on this figure, all hoping to own the performance that stands in front of them, but they are only bidding for the frog, and not the soul beneath.
Whether you view it as a positive or negative is purely up to you.
This collection is an exploration of my mind, this is how I feel and my stages in dealing with the anxiety and fear of becoming a forgotten artist. The works I am making deal with the themes of insecurity, self-doubt, anger, sadness and an overwhelming sense of anxiety.
The collection has been bubbling in me for a while, being busy with college and being overwhelmed completely with life has led to me having less and less time to make work, which I use as my form of therapy / dealing with thoughts in my head. As a result of all of this bundling stress, sadness and depression, I thought to myself “Have I really gone irrelevant? Am I able to keep up with the fast paced nature of this space?”
