We’re All Monkeys. So Let’s Have Some Fun

Three tough monkeys presented looking confidently at the viewer, dressed in black suits and ties. They symbolize the constant balance between the serious and the playful in our lives. As we move through the daily 'machine' of society, we can feel like monkeys stuck in the routine - the endless expectations, obligations and structure. It is a feeling that many of us recognize, but the artwork invites us to shake off that pressure. The monkeys, dressed in formal suits, give us the opportunity to reflect on how we are sometimes forced into roles and systems, while we are naturally playful and uninhibited. The red background evokes a sense of urgency and chaos, while the yellow text playfully calls for us to occasionally break away from the established rules and behave like monkeys.
