A few words about the piece
“Safety Procedures May Vary” reimagines the in-flight safety card as an absurd metamorphosis. The familiar choreography of airline emergency protocol becomes fantastical when oxygen masks are replaced by duck bills, transforming anxious passengers into placid waterfowl.
The piece gently satirizes the performative calm of safety demonstrations. The transformation is at once subtle and unsettling—a wry comment on how routine instructions can obscure underlying chaos. It asks: if we’re all following directions, what are we becoming?
Whether it’s a critique of conformity, a love letter to dark humor, or a fever dream at 35,000 feet, this image sits between cartoon and commentary.
