The Absurdity of Collision: A Dialogue Between Norms and Fantasy

This work explores absurdity not as mere randomness, but as the deliberate collision of two opposing worlds: the predictable and the fantastical.

The Body as an Object of Absurdity
The female figure—her skin blue, her expression joyful, her hair twisted—appears frozen in a moment of fall or flight. Her unnatural, illogical pose defies the laws of physics and gravity, signaling the dominance of the irrational.

The Trap Detail—The Banana Peel
A common symbol of slapstick accident, the banana peel here takes on new meaning. In the context of the luxurious setting and the heroine’s tense pose, it becomes a metaphor for fate, suggesting that sometimes the smallest, most absurd detail dictates the course of events.

The Play Between the Real and the Toy-like
A wooden rocking horse, typically a symbol of childhood innocence, is ridden by a woman dressed in sexualized attire. This absurd juxtaposition of roles, eras, and states of being creates a visual paradox, akin to a dream where logic ceases to exist.

The Contrast Between Expression and Situation
She smiles, as if delighted—but the surrounding scene is absurd, even unsettling. This contrast between outward expression and inner turmoil reflects the essence of existential absurdity: the tension between human emotions and the indifference of the world.
