I'm a Bird, I'm a Plane, I'm Mentally Insane

“I’m a bird, I’m a plane, I’m mentally insane” explodes like a fever dream against a clear blue sky. Figures, animals, and text emerge from clouds that double as both image and thought. Superman and a lion streak through the air beside a winged jet marked “Super.” Balloons float by, a boy sits atop skateboard made of clouds as others spell out the words of a mind unraveling. The humor is immediate, but the weight lingers. I layer irony with sincerity, revealing the fragility beneath the bravado. This isn’t parody- it’s prophecy. The work speaks to the cultural moment of overstimulation, where fantasy and distress coexist in constant negotiation. I paint the psychology of a world that laughs through its own collapse and searches for hope in the absurd. Acrylic on canvas - 40” x 40”
