Sorry, I’m horny!

Iya Manthachitra (Iyamantha)

Digital Painting

The artwork features two characters wearing paper cone hats, seated on chairs in a manner reminiscent of students being punished for misbehavior. One character, a vintage-style teddy bear, displays a sorrowful expression, wearing a hat labeled “Horny” while holding a banana. This composition reflects the natural emotions and desires inherent to humans, which, in certain societies or cultures, may be considered inappropriate to express openly.

The piece humorously critiques outdated disciplinary methods by juxtaposing the teddy bear’s expression with the absurdity of the punishment. The hat’s text highlights the internal conflict between societal norms and personal desires. The retro-style characters evoke a nostalgic atmosphere, while the use of cool tones lends a sense of softness and subtlety to the imagery.
