Lafufu, Labubu & The Truth About Collecting Toys in Late Capitalism
Lafufu is my new series of wall sculptures based on the viral Labubu toy. Cute on the surface, critical underneath. I break down why blind box culture works, how hype fuels collecting, and why adults keep chasing surprise toys like slot machines.
These pieces are laser cut, hand painted, assembled in my studio in Berlin. Each one comes in a random color, just like the toy lottery that inspired it. No choices, only chance.
