Too cute to spook 2024

This work reinterprets Halloween or spooky themes in an adorable and whimsical manner. The circular frame contains a monster or ghost figure with large eyes and long hair ornaments resembling rabbit ears. The girl in the other arched frame wears a black cloak and a headdress adorned with pumpkins and bats. The cute appearance of the figures contrasts with the overall dark and subdued background, creating an atmosphere that is, as the title suggests, ‘too cute to spook.’ The piece explores the humor and innocence hidden within fear, suggesting that even terror can be a subject of play.
