In "Panic Buy", the lone astronaut carries a load of five inflatable animals on his shoulders as he floats in the floodwaters. The animals appear to be his only possessions, perhaps salvaged from the wreckage of civilization. With a fiery red sunset on the horizon and ominous clouds overhead, the scene conveys a sense of urgency and uncertainty. The painting speaks to our tendency to hoard and panic in times of crisis, while also reminding us of the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit.
