Little Pink Houses is a vibrant, surreal painting that plays with the illusion of the American Dream—an idea as whimsical and elusive as Wonderland itself. Named after the John Mellencamp song, this piece challenges the glossy, unattainable promise of success and security that has long been sold to the masses. Like Alice chasing the impossible, the dream remains just out of reach for so many, particularly those who are marginalized and forgotten by the system.

The painting bursts with colour and chaotic energy, its dreamlike landscape echoing the nonsense and wackiness of Alice in Wonderland. At its centre, a White Rabbit—forever racing against the clock—symbolizes the crushing anxiety of societal time pressure. The rabbit's constant worry about being late is a reflection of the urgency we face today. Time is running out, and real change is long overdue.

In a country that continues to suppress LGBTQIA+ rights, deny racial justice, and fail its most vulnerable, the American Dream is nothing more than a mirage. If America is to truly be great, it must be reimagined—not as a fairytale promise, but as a reality built on equity, liberation, and collective care.
