Dancing Jack

A 1/1 piece by MRE, created in 2018 as a visual celebration to inaugurate the New Year. Dancing Jack is a depiction of life’s golden moments shared with friends. MRE explores our fundamental need as a society to come together to mark moments and our intricate millennia-old relationship with fine wine and spirits.

However, as someone who is teetotal, MRE lays out his own reality in this work; that alcohol is inherently a celebratory substance that can provide pleasure or alternatively pain.

This juxtaposition of the good and bad has plagued society for thousands of years. As we exit Covid and a global pandemic, life must go on and Jack is ready to dance his heart away for all of us.
