TRANQUIL MONKEY presents a sharp and playful response to the spirit of our times, where opinions are shouted loudly, from left to right and from right to left. Everyone seems determined to push their views forward, often leaving no space for silence, nuance, or personal peace.
Each artwork depicts a monkey in a different meditation pose, surrounded by the text: PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB THE TRANQUIL MONKEY. The monkey sits in serene stillness, unaffected by the storm of opinions and protests that rage around it.
Beneath each framed piece protrudes a cheeky but cleverly designed mechanism: a movable monkey penis. When the viewer moves it back and forth (from left to right and right to left 😉), the monkey’s eyes roll. This playful interaction ironically highlights how even in moments of deep calm, a minimal external trigger can provoke an inner reaction. Yet the monkey remains seated: undisturbed, meditative, steadfast.
TRANQUIL MONKEY is not only a commentary on the hysteria of public opinion and endless activism, but also a plea for the right to inner peace. A simple message that says:
Leave me alone.
