Artwork description:

Giraffe and boy from the planet U2BeBetter seems to have perfectly copied and modernized the image of a charming twitching giraffe from the distant past. Nevertheless, while chasing the modernity, it has completely lost its main feature - the ability to recover after various manipulations with it. This one is significantly more aplastic and fragile, can fall down and break from an accidental touch, and the boy sitting on his back will fall with him. Giraffe and Boy are the embodiment of the fragility of modernity. During personal viewing of the work, you can understand that this is an illusion of weakness. After all, Giraffe and Boy are unshakable, even if you try to destroy them. Now people have become strong, even in their weaknesses.
