The King has a snake problem

16″×20″ museum-quality print

Behold the mighty ruler of nothing. Drenched in garish pinks and yellows, this monarch stands triumphant—over what, exactly, is unclear. Maybe it’s the stairway to nowhere behind them, or perhaps just their own insecurities, hidden beneath layers of absurd pomp and bluster.

Everything about them is exaggerated: the oversized crown, the puffed-up sleeves, the ridiculous power stance. It’s a masterclass in overcompensation, a parody of ego on steroids. They look ready to rule a kingdom of illusions, propped up by floating hearts and golden stars—the hollow symbols of affection and power.

And then there are the noodle-arms, wriggling around like they’re mocking the whole charade. It’s hard to tell who’s really in charge here: the so-called ruler, or the absurd world that refuses to take them seriously. In this pink, chaotic kingdom, the emperor not only has no clothes—he’s also wearing a fluffy cape just to prove a point.
