Welcome To The 20s

2022–2023

Welcome to the 20s is a parody of a decade that began with collapse. The series looks outward, toward the people — documents the absurdity, chaos, and surreal narratives that marked the early 2020s. For the first time in this world, the story is not about the character (The Clown), but the crowd itself – the faces, performances, and echoes that surround him.

Onstage, the people perform. They point, accuse, and imitate — each convinced they are the only one not playing a part. Everyone is a clown in someone else’s eyes.And though this story is not about him, the real Clown — the shapeshifter, the one who wears their faces — is there too, somewhere in the crowd, biding his time, laughing quietly along and waiting to emerge.

Digitally painted backdrops and theatrical characters borrow from the heightened aesthetic of classic cartoons, where satire and menace intertwine. The world appears playful, but the laughter feels uneasy.

This is not an ending, but a prelude — the atmosphere before eruption.Welcome to the 20s is the mirror held to the audience before the curtain falls.
