Influenced by automatic writing and whimsical creative processes, he juxtaposes contradictory values drawn from lived experience—such as the individual and the collective, the natural and the planned, humour and cruelty—to create surprising, chaotic yet harmonious visual narratives and present stories of alternative metropolitan life. These works explore the precarious, fleeting conditions beneath metropolitan order, as well as the potential and resilience for rebellion within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.paperole.com\/pages\/purchasing-shipping-and-return-policy\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSee shipping and returns details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cpre dir=\"ltr\" id=\"tw-target-text\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\" class=\"Y2IQFc\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e","brand":"Kycolun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325050028327,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1368\/1017\/files\/PLASTIC-TUNNEL-cover-2_cd34c0c3-6aae-4749-a60f-0c8b0741fb53.jpg?v=1777556917","url":"https:\/\/www.paperole.com\/products\/taste-of-tears-vol-02-by-kycolun","provider":"Paperole","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
