World's Happiness Painting

World’s Happiness World’s Happiness is an ongoing artistic research examining happiness as a constructed visual and social system rather than an emotional ideal. My practice explores how repetition, structure, and visual norms shape collective perceptions of happiness in contemporary culture. Through painting, collage, and post-digital processes, I work with multiplied figures, fragmented forms, and controlled color fields to reflect the tension between individuality and mass experience. Happiness in my work functions as a normative image — something expected, performed, and reproduced. By translating this pressure into visual structures, I investigate how images influence emotional behavior and collective identity. Positioned between painting and expanded visual practices, my work treats the image not as a static object but as a dynamic system operating within space, memory, and perception.
