“Donald and Daisy Duck, symbols of childhood love, are reduced here to a predetermined mechanism. Their gestures, though expressive, appear as the outcome of a repetitive program, a well-rehearsed choreography that challenges the authenticity of emotions. This painting highlights the standardization of relationships and the influence of popular imagery on our romantic expectations. Clockwork Romance raises the question: are our emotions natural, or are they shaped by pre-existing patterns that we unconsciously reenact?”
