CATDOLL: The tragic endings of Disney princesses in real life!

Artist Jeff Hong was born and raised in Los Angeles, USA, and now lives in New York. Jeff Hong's Unhappily Ever After series of works puts the protagonists of Disney in real life. The incompatibility between fairy tales and reality makes the pictures look very inconsistent, but it gives the viewer a strong visual impact, making them think about the language behind the pictures. As for how he came up with this series of works, Jeff Hong said that he had thought of putting Disney princesses in an urban environment, which is completely opposite to the environment in fairy tales. When he started to study the image, he first placed Mulan in the context of a polluted city in China. The charm of the image language made him quickly realize that putting other Disney characters in such a background has a very important hidden message.

The world is facing many problems today, such as global warming, pollution, serious polarization between the rich and the poor, political turmoil, racial discrimination, drug trafficking and gender discrimination, which have caused widespread discussion. Artist Jeff Hong used his favorite Disney characters and virtualized them to create the Unhappily Ever After series of works to express his views on the world.

Jeff Hong hopes that the spread of his works on the Internet can generate a force that can improve some bad living environments. His works have received huge reposts and support in the past period of time. He hopes that this dissemination power is not a flash in the pan, and said that he will continue this series of works. He will continue to try to recreate Disney's main characters in his own way.
