Moments in Flames — Mixed media on paper by Papayon

This provocative stencil artwork reimagines one of the most iconic selfies of our time against a backdrop of chaos and destruction. The juxtaposition of smiling faces with the fiery explosion challenges the viewer to consider the disparity between curated happiness and the harsh realities often overshadowed. The bold contrast of vibrant reds and yellows with stark black and gold highlights heightens the tension, emphasizing the divide between surface-level appearances and the underlying turmoil.

What lies beyond the smiles, and how do we reconcile the worlds we create and the ones we overlook?
