Becoming a man soon (2020)
Oil on canvas
170 x 150 cm
This young adult imagines himself in the Wild West while playing with a toy train from his childhood. On the one hand, this work encourages you not to lose the imagination of your inner child in a society that moves faster and faster and where you are as expected to participate. On the other hand, it reflects on the Western privileged child who can play as he pleases without worrying and without taking responsibility for it. In a contemporary context, playing cowboys and Indians also fairly raises questions... And, is he in the Wild West or on a jungle floor surrounded by felled tree trunks?
