About "Caught in the Rat Race"

by BFQ - CTRL+ALT+ART

About the artwork

This powerful and confrontational work features two hands tied together with rope, while a computer mouse dangles between their wrists. The symbolism is direct and sharp: we are bound by technology that was once meant to set us free. The background, an explosion of shades of purple, blue and pink, exudes both energy and restlessness - the digital world constantly demanding our attention.

The inspiration for this work comes from the modern form of slavery that many recognise: the endless rat race of emails, deadlines and screens. The artist asks the question: who controls whom anymore? The human behind the machine, or the machine behind the human?

The atmosphere is raw, urgent and reflective. The black hands with gold accents refer to strength, dignity and the desire to break free. Here, the mouse - an everyday object - turns into a symbol of bondage.

This work is made with acrylic paint and metallic lines, which gives it a tangible intensity. In an interior, it immediately attracts attention and invites conversation. Ideal for spaces where awareness, reflection and debate are welcome.
