OBJKTS and ARTIFAKTS 2022: Rescue Fantasy

"Rescue Fantasy" Ink on Paper June 2022

Giant Mecha Robots appeal to the introvert. We imagine an armor we can wear that makes us invincible, and unafraid to battle the monsters in our lives. We imagine a vehicle that can empower us to leave a toxic situation, rescue a friend from a toxic situation, or fight against seemingly superior forces for a small but righteous cause. In this piece I imagine an individual who longs for that rescue from the mundane, and that their mecha would arrive and whisk them away.
