Artist Statement
"10PM" is an acrylic painting that captures a particularly turbulent and frustrating hour I experienced.
The winged shoe on the left represents my failed attempt to purchase a limited edition shoe. After placing my order, it was canceled due to a shipping issue. When I tried to buy another pair, it sold out just as I was checking out. This marked the start of my chaotic hour, which is why the shoe is placed near the "10" on the clock.
On the right, a car crashes into my head, symbolizing the moment I found out that one of my favorite F1 drivers had been dropped from his team. This news was especially unwelcome, adding to my frustration, hence the "crash" graphic.
The explosion from my head, along with my expression, visually captures the mind-blowing stress and frustration I felt during that chaotic hour.
