March of the Bunny Legion (2024)

70X50
A dynamic aerial battle is depicted between a massive orange robot, controlled by the bunny legion and featuring a giant smiley face, and a fierce white dragon. The confrontation between the weaponized symbol of happiness and the terrifying dragon seems to be a metaphor for the internal struggle against dark monsters like the ‘compulsion to be happy.’ The work playfully explores the ironic nature of war and desire by fusing cute characters with destructive imagery.
