Life Of The Party

The series of paintings conveys Gen-Z’s ‘main character syndrome’ of excess, intimacy, and recklessness. Influenced by pop culture aesthetics, scenes of parties are depicted to create heightened psychological theatres, questioning identity, memory, and feelings of belonging. While seemingly, these paintings depict joyfulness within a community, but they also raise the question of: is this who we really are? Do we belong here? and most importantly, who constructs the spectacle and who controls it?
