He stands twisted by life, a warped echo of Pinocchio with strings long gone but lies never ending. Positioned before nose cream packaging, he appears mid-scream, desperate for relief, repair, something to shrink it all back down.
The absurdity cuts deep: a man reduced to medicine for surface problems while deeper cracks split him open. This is addiction disguised as fairy tale, stripped of magic. Only raw need remains, accompanied by loud silence and a cardboard promise that maybe it will fix what's broken.
The work exposes our pathetic faith in quick solutions, the way we grasp at remedies designed for minor ailments when facing existential wounds. His distorted features mirror our own desperate hope that external fixes might heal internal damage, that transformation can be purchased rather than earned.
