„Canned Koi American Dream“

2023

100 x 100 cm, oil, acrylic, metal leaf on canvas

A big, old white koi, formerly orange, pays homage to its inception during Trump's presidency, with some remnants of orange serving as a historical marker. It's surrounded by followers saluting and waving their weapons in reverence. Those closest to their leader are lighter in color, while those further away, relegated to more crowded spaces, grow progressively darker, illustrating themes of white supremacy and racism.

The American ego, often characterized by gun ownership and influenced by the powerful gun lobby, is laid bare. While the U.S. positions itself as a defender of democracy and freedom, underlying currents of power and economic interests often steer the nation's course.

The grandeur of the big fish is accentuated by a halo composed of guns and automatic rifles, epitomizing the nation's complex relationship with firearms and power.
