Short Circuit

Short Circuit reimagines a globally recognizable pop icon through the lens of emotional overload and rebellion. Stripped of its usual innocence, the character appears tense, hostile, and emotionally unstable — cigarette in hand, expression hardened, identity distorted. Built with thick layers of acrylic and exaggerated simplicity, the work blurs the line between nostalgia and emotional decay, capturing the overstimulated atmosphere of a generation caught between entertainment, exhaustion, and constant emotional noise.
