My work titled 'pessimists survive - optimists die' draws inspiration from the haunting visions of George Orwell, and the complex social writings of Henrik Ibsen,  questioning the narratives shaped by the masses. 'But you elected a god, did you not?' , shows the metaphor of two astronauts arriving from a utopian reality, discovering a dystopian world, populated by clowns not humans. The clown majority serves as a biting critique of the cultural and political apathy that fuels this undemocratic society, the circus must keep going, no matter the cost.

'pessimists die for a cause, optimists die because they believe there is no cause' - Craig Beattie
