Decomposing Dreams (2025)

This artwork presents Mickey Mouse as a skeleton, breaking down the idealized image of childhood innocence. The skeleton symbolizes mortality, decay, and the inevitability of time, which strips Mickey of his playful, innocent identity. The bright, saturated colors in the background contrast with the eerie skeleton, creating a disturbing yet visually striking commentary on the passage of time and the death of idealism in modern culture. It challenges the viewer to reconsider how iconic characters like Mickey can represent more than just joy and innocence—they can also symbolize the transience of culture and the decay of nostalgia.
