Inscribed within the Fever Dream series, this painting continues to explore the friction between disparate visual references, articulated through a photographic aesthetic that subverts the logic of space and scale.

The scene is set in the London Underground, where a white, ghostly figure—originally a sculpture found at an art fair—waits on the platform beside a small Boo toy, a character from the Mario Bros. universe, which occupies the place of the train on the tracks. The image oscillates between the everyday and the spectral, transforming urban transit into a suspended, almost oneiric experience.
