22.5in x 22.5in / 57.15cm x 57.1cm - unframed
Archival inks on Moab Estrada rag Bright 290gsm-100% cotton.

At first glance, "Drawing #2: Censored" (2022) appears whimsical and playful, featuring a familiar icon—a balloon dog. However, upon closer inspection, the unexpected subject matter emerges—a balloon dog in the act of defecating, with the excrement intentionally obscured by censoring marks. This juxtaposition of innocence and taboo invites viewers to question their perceptions of what is acceptable and what is deemed inappropriate in art.
The meticulous graphite rendering captures the intricacies of the balloon dog's form, creating a sense of three-dimensionality and inviting viewers to engage with the subject matter on multiple levels. The use of grayscale emphasizes the contrast between the lightheartedness of the balloon dog and the weight of the censorship imposed upon it, underscoring the tension between freedom of expression and societal constraints.
While "Drawing #2: Censored" may elicit mixed reactions and challenge conventional sensibilities, it serves as an invitation to open dialogues surrounding the boundaries of art and the impact of censorship on creative expression. It encourages viewers to reflect on their own perspectives and examine the underlying mechanisms that shape societal acceptance and rejection.
