Folded Smile is part of my ongoing Reclaimed Icons series — a visual exploration of everyday objects transformed by use, memory, and time.
This crumpled Happy Meal box, rendered in precise oil technique, carries the echoes of childhood joy and global consumerism. The distorted smile is no longer just playful — it reflects on what we consume, and what remains.
Painted with fine attention to detail, the piece invites viewers to reflect on the fragility of symbols and the layers of meaning behind familiar imagery.
