Silkscreen prints

Caution! Dance Floor is a wall installation that features 49 prints of caution signs arranged in a grid system, replicating the energetic atmosphere of a dance floor. The fluorescent signs evoke the vibrant environment of a club or party, drawing viewers into the lively scene. The figure depicted within the signs appears to be dancing, yet constantly falling and stumbling, highlighting the dual nature of dance floors as spaces for both exhilaration and vulnerability. Through the use of bold and attention-grabbing colors and familiar caution symbols, the installation captures the essence of the nightlife experience, where caution and inhibition are often disregarded in pursuit of enjoyment. The installation invites viewers to question societal norms, push boundaries and explore the balance between control and abandon. By recontextualizing the caution signs in a playful yet thought-provoking manner, the installation encourages a deeper consideration of the complexities of human interaction and the role of caution in our lives.
