Artist’s Note: This painting, executed in a pop art style, satirically explores the complex nostalgia and consumer culture of contemporary society. Set against a backdrop overflowing with brand logos and billboards, familiar Snoopy characters make an appearance, blending cultural elements from both past and present. However, rather than simply evoking a sense of retro sentimentality, the piece raises questions about how we consume the past in modern times. The juxtaposition of well-known brands and Snoopy figures stirs nostalgia while simultaneously prompting reflection on how these images are reinterpreted and repurposed within contemporary capitalist society. Within the artwork, past and present, childhood innocence and commercialism, nostalgia and critique all exist in a delicate balance—mirroring our own experiences of navigating the modern world. Ultimately, the piece encourages us to look beyond simple nostalgia and reconsider how consumer culture shapes our identity and values.
