Rat Race

Rat Race is a striking visual narrative that encapsulates the ceaseless pursuit of success in modern life. The artwork features a group of rats running in endless circles, symbolising the repetitive and often futile cycle many find themselves trapped in.

At the heart of the piece, centrally placed, is a large, unblinking snake eye that watches over the scene. This eye represents the ever-present forces of societal pressure, judgment, or self-awareness.

The rats, oblivious to the eye, continue their frenzied race, underscoring the irony of striving towards an elusive or unattainable goal. The central placement of the eye emphasises its significance as both an observer and a symbol of the forces that drive the "rat race."

This piece invites viewers to reflect on their own lives and the invisible pressures that propel them forward.
