Boom

Boom Digital collage, 2025 – Honys Torres

Boom is a pop explosion that denounces the constant nuclear threat posed by North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. With an exaggerated grin and cartoonish green hair, the leader holds a blast marked with a nuclear symbol, as if destruction were a game. The phrase “Let the game begin!!” sets the tone: grotesque, childish, and dangerous.

Elements like the tank, the nuclear missile, the military cap with a red star, and the Saw character under the slogan “LIVE OR DIE” reinforce the aesthetics of a macabre spectacle. Pink hearts, cupcakes with legs, and words like “READY, AIM, FIRE” turn war into performance and threat into collage.

Boom is a visual satire of totalitarianism disguised as entertainment, where power plays with the planet as if it were a toy board.
