Acrylic on Road Cones
2025

Road cones, like in Squid Game, symbolize the structured yet unpredictable nature of progress by ignoring them can lead to accidents or setbacks. They mark transformation, guiding society through urban change.
With humor, the artist reinterprets this theme using their unique character, blending high-stakes tension with a playful twist. The artwork reflects how urban expansion demands careful navigation, where breaking the rules can have real consequences amid the rush for progress.
