A street-level reimagining of Coraline’s haunting dreamworld, Eyes Sewn Shut captures a twisted version of childhood curiosity. The button-eyed figure, suspended midair in a dripping yellow raincoat, symbolizes being trapped between two realities—one imagined, one controlled. Layered graffiti textures, sharp outlines, and bleeding reds create a sense of distortion and quiet fear, mirroring the mental maze of growing up too fast, too aware.
This 24x36” piece demands presence—meant to unsettle, question, and remind you that not everything with a smile is safe.
