Challenge Accepted, 2024, oil on canvas fabric, each 21 x 24.9 cm
This series consists of 10 consecutive paintings. The egg is presented alongside a spoon in a fancy box, as a kit for the "egg on a spoon" game. As C.T. tries to carry the egg without dropping it, he faces another challenge with each step, making it impossible to maintain balance; yet he continues to persist.
In today’s world, most people live merely by trying to maintain an impossible balance. It’s an endless, resultless game of striving to reach the illusion of perfection. The false "perception of quality of life" created by the government in advertisements, propaganda, and media pushes people into this struggle to reach non-existent standarts.
