Toys stories

HBomba's set of three sculptural frames presents a poignant and powerful vision, where recycled objects, mainly toys, are arranged to create a composition evoking the violence and tragic consequences of armed conflicts.

The frames, composed of toys glued together, showcase popular icons such as superheroes, Disney characters, Pokémon, but most notably, war toys including firearms, soldiers, tanks, and fighter planes. The dark and black hue of the ensemble creates an atmosphere of a war zone, reinforcing the impression of toy corpses strewn across the ground, symbolizing the devastation of war.

At the center of the artwork, the specific compositions titled "Atomic Carousel," "Say Goodbye," and "Three Stuffed Animals" explicitly reference children as victims of war. These frames amplify the message conveyed by the central pieces, highlighting the heartbreaking reality of the consequences of violence on the most vulnerable members of society.
