Faster, kids! Win it for Mommy and Daddy!

An absurdist, playful commentary on the pressure that can motivate parents and children to compete and succeed, and the idea that children are proxies for their parents' unachieved goals, viewing kids as "pets" to be trained and used for the vicarious success of the parents.

In the Labyrinth series, I use large oil linocut multi-impression block prints to explore the intersecting and concentric lines that make up a maze.

These mazes represent the confusion and complexity of the modern world, where everything seems connected and interdependent.

At the same time, labyrinths symbolize the journey to self-discovery, which I also aim to capture in my work.

Using tessellated patterns, I create a sense of continuity and interconnectedness in the pieces, inviting viewers to get lost in the details and discover new paths and perspectives.

My work also pays homage to my childhood memories of craft books filled with similar imagery, adding a nostalgic and personal touch to the series.
