The artwork “Scary Chicken” powerfully brings attention to people’s tendency to run away when confrontation threatens or becomes challenging. The image of a scary chicken symbolizes the inner fear and insecurity people experience when faced with difficulties. Instead of standing firm and facing the challenge, many choose to run away, retreating into their comfort zones where they feel safe.
The artist seems to want to emphasize that this tendency to run away often stems from a lack of self-confidence or the fear of failure. People often avoid confrontations or dialogues in which they believe they cannot prove themselves right, for fear of humiliation or failure.
“Scary Chicken” reminds us that real growth and progress often involve taking risks and facing challenges, even if it means stepping out of our comfort zone. The artwork encourages us to be courageous, to engage in dialogue, and to go all-in to achieve our goals, knowing that it is only by embracing these confrontations and challenges that we can truly grow and thrive.
