Surfing While Cooking (2022) Artwork

Surfing While Cooking (2022) portrays a masked girl surfing on a huge tulip while cooking some pancakes. Her skirt extends into a merry-go-round with colourful pompoms and wild animals such as elephants and hippopotamus oscillating around her. She is on the crest of the pastel wave with an untidy stack of teacups pouring milk tea behind her and goldfish-shaped teabags hanging from the ceiling. There were cakes being thrown everywhere, even in the waters. This work symbolises our tendency to challenge what is known; while we are aware that multi-tasking is not the best way to work, we still do so because we think we can pull it off, just like this subject. Despite being surrounded by distractions, we believe we can stay focus and accomplish the tasks we intend to do so within a set limited duration.
