Encaustic wax, oil paint collage on mirror

27”x 39” Framed

Inspired by the phrase "Everyone Wants to Rule the World," this encaustic wax collage layers bold color, texture, and familiar imagery to explore power, fame, and influence. At its center, a striking depiction of the iconic scream from Home Alone captures a sense of chaos and awe, surrounded by a dense mosaic of cultural figures and caricatures who’ve shaped the last 60 years. From superheroes to politicians, musicians to media icons, the piece satirizes the scramble for control while honoring the pop legacy of our time.
