CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER!
Choose Your Character is a celebration of cartoon characters as a language of expression. Inspired by the grid-screens of classic fighting games and sketches of characters over the years, the works gather these imagined figures into a playful matrix, each one contained with its own attitude and energy. The characters exist in the dichotomy of invention and recognition and are informed by the domains of fantasy, the everyday and personalities that animate media. They carry the exaggeration of cartoons yet are echoes of culture. They capture moods, quirks, and aesthetics that make them relatable and invite playful engagement Like frozen video game interfacing hovering over the selection screen, Choose Your Character revels in the playful abundance of identities as personified constructions.
