The series of monsters originated in the studio of the Royal College of Art Battersea in London and consists of seven works made on A2 paper in a mixed technique (drawing with a felt-tip pen and acrylic painting). "What is Your Weakness, Norm?" is inspired by the popular Netflix series "Lucifer".
The title of the work is a quote from Lucifer Season 3, Episode 3: “Mr. and Mrs. Mazikeen Smith ”Mr. From the dialogue between Norm and Mazikeen (2017):
Mazikeen: Do you know how to torture someone … Norm? Norm: Can’t say that I do. Mazekeen: Well I do. I know how to find a human’s weakness and use it against him … for maximum pain. Norm : Oh I can’t see a nice lady like you doing something like that. Mazikeen: Mazikeen : What's your weakness, Norm? Mazikeen: Money? Norm : Dolly, no. Mazikeen : Kink? Norm : That a band? Mazikeen: How about I break your fingers? Norm : Oh, no. If you did that, I wouldn't be able to give my wife her back rubs. [Thinks] Norm : Though I suppose I could use the old elbows in a pinch.
The London period brought me to the midst of a “break it or make it” mentality and people whose life motto is “work hard play hard”, where overly high and too fast personal goals often pushed humanity aside and exposed monsters within people. There is no doubt that none of us is a robot and everyone has their own weaknesses, and exploring and exploiting these weaknesses proved to be the behavioral norm of a "break it or make it" society. "Monsters" are both hunters and hunted. That is why they are terrible and cute at the same time.
