Drawing from my previous piece "Watermelon Paradox" and other smaller works, this artwork delves into the concept of desirability. It showcases a phallic symbol, affectionately dubbed the "Black dick," positioned beside a structure adorned with hints of gold leaf, reminiscent of a mirror or window. Hovering above is a toothy grin, eagerly eyeing the phallus. This portrayal playfully critiques society's obsession with penis size, elevating it to a symbol of status and personality. It's a whimsical reminder of how we often perceive physical attributes as gateways to access and power.
