Hip Hip Hurray

“Hip Hip Hurray” captures a quiet rebellion against the pressure to perform happiness, as the artist curls up at the edge of her bed amid balloons and sunlight; a scene of celebration turned inward. Rendered on her signature Ekpe Papier Strata surface in dominant red tones, the work reveals the tension between festivity and solitude, exposing the tender stillness that lingers beneath joy’s bright façade.
