In the “Hello! Santa” project, I reimagined three traditional ceramic Santa figurines, turning them into whimsical, eye-catching artworks that challenge the viewer's perception of this iconic holiday figure. Each Santa, standing 11 inches tall, is adorned with multiple eyes, giving the figure an otherworldly, surreal quality.
These figurines were more than simple holiday decorations—they became playful expressions of creativity and imagination. One of the Santas, affectionately dubbed “Yellow Santa,” now resides in the private collection of an MTV host, adding a touch of festive whimsy to their space.
By taking a well-known symbol and transforming it into something unexpected, this project invites viewers to see beyond the familiar and embrace a more imaginative interpretation of tradition. The multiple eyes suggest heightened awareness and insight, while the bright, unconventional colors break away from the typical holiday palette, making these Santas truly one-of-a-kind.
