"Burning Penis on the Face" is a curious mask where playfulness and unease wrestle for attention. It smiles—but there’s a shadow behind it. Flames for eyes, a penis for a nose, a bottle spewing fire as a mouth. Though the artist tried to erase the original likeness of Hotei (the Laughing Buddha), somehow, his grin still remains. The fake flame’s texture, the eerie realism of the egg’s shadow— A prank, perhaps—but one whispered like a prayer.
