“Safety Procedures May Vary” reinvents the in-flight safety card as an absurdist metamorphosis. The once-familiar choreography of airline emergency protocol turns fantastical when the oxygen masks are replaced by duck bills—turning anxious passengers into placid, domesticated waterfowl.

Whether a critique of conformity, a love letter to dark humor, or a fever dream at 35,000 feet—this image lands somewhere between cartoon and commentary.
