STRAWBERRY GUNS

Mixed media on canvas, 31 x 33 cm, 2022

Two hands aim not to destroy, but to reveal — their target a strawberry, both heart and symbol of play. In Chromo Pop, color becomes tension and tenderness at once: the sweetness of the fruit contrasts with the potential of violence, transforming conflict into emotion. The strawberry recalls the pixelated ghosts of 1980s arcade games — a nostalgic echo of Pac-Man — where life, desire, and loss were rendered in simple shapes and bright tones. Here, pop imagery and emotional charge collide, exposing the fragility of human instinct within a hyper-saturated digital world.
