Shortcut

2017

I’m only cheating myself, but I’m a busy person. I don’t have time to do that research or write that essay. Work out in the gym? Fools game, I just visit the plastic surgeon, me. No one will see what I’m doing, no one will know the difference. While other’s fall on their faces trying, I’m ahead of the game. I guess, it’s what you would call having my cake and eating it too. I don’t need passion or fight, because whatever it is, I can just work around it.

Shortcut

A Glimpse into the Artist's Mind

In my pursuit of exploring art, I express my view of the world. While creating with pride, I reflect on those who favor shortcuts, often neglecting the valuable journey of hard work, perseverance, and personal growth. The joy of overcoming obstacles and self-improvement appears to have diminished over time.

How it was Made

In this satire photography artwork, we're presented with a lighthearted scene at a traditional track and field race. An overweight man lounges on a sofa, munching on chips and sipping beer, with a determined cat perched on his lap. The artist's clever touch turns the armchair into a slingshot, propelling the unconventional racer into a playful competition with professional athletes. The piece humorously highlights our relentless pursuit of speed and success, inviting us to reflect on the value of the journey.
