A disconcerting figure, oscillating between the grotesque and the tragic. Woof seems to embody an emotion too great to be contained, a facial distortion that evokes both laughter and tears.
The exaggerated, almost cartoonish features recall the world of cartoons, but diverted towards a more visceral expression. The eyes weep immense blue tears, while the mouth, stretched and encircled by organic shapes, seems to hesitate between a scream and a forced smile.
The pop colors, a vibrant blue and a bright pink, contrast with the emotional charge of the subject. A seemingly playful mask that hides a deeper pain, a facade behind which everything blends together.
With OUAF , WRD plays with the ambiguity of human expression, that blurred line between forced joy and inexpressible sadness. An intriguing work that challenges, amuses, and disturbs all at once.
