In Boo Hoo
Buying Hoo Who?, a mischievous, wide-eyed creature stands before a jubilant
field of smiling flowers, clutching a framed image of itself in perfect
replication. The surface is saturated with candy-bright color and graphic
clarity, evoking the seduction of pop iconography and mass appeal. Yet the
doubling of the character—figure and product, subject and merchandise—quietly
unsettles the cheer. Beneath its playful exuberance, the work toys with
authorship, identity, and the curious loop of buying an image that is already
looking back at you.
