Inspired by a French sailor rubber duck, this piece is composed of more than 5,600 tiny resin ducks arranged into a striking mosaic portrait. What began as a playful subject gradually evolved into a self-portrait of the artist during the process of creation. The figure, with its striped sailor shirt, beret, and mustache, is set against a lively seascape of sky, sun, and waves, blending humor, identity, and cultural reference. The work features both solid and glow-in-the-dark ducks. When exposed to UV light, the figure transforms into a radiant, glowing presence that fills the entire room, shifting the piece from a playful surface image into an immersive, luminous environment. This duality between daylight form and UV transformation underscores the artist's practice of turning countless small units into powerful expressions of community, identity, and wonder.
