A disconcerting figure, oscillating between the grotesque and the tragic. "OUAF" seems to embody an emotion too great to be contained, a distortion of the face 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 cry immense blue tears, while the mouth, stretched and encircled by organic shapes, seems to hesitate between a cry 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 mixes.
With "OUAF" , WRD plays with the ambiguity of human expression, this blurred border between forced joy and inexpressible sadness. An intriguing work that challenges, amuses and disturbs at the same time.
