Angel Zoo

"Angel Zoo" is a ceramic sculpture by Louise Hapton from the Alice cherche Alice Series
 
"Angel Zoo" explores how we see difference in others. Part of the Alice cherche Alice Series, the piece delves into the search for identity, a theme deeply tied to the artist’s ongoing exploration of personal and societal constraints.
 
By glorifying Harajuku fashion and alternative subcultures, Juliette presents cuteness not as passive decoration but as an act of defiance. The sculpture embodies the ethos of kawaii culture, where softness, exaggeration, and playfulness become tools for self-assertion. In a society that often dictates how individuals should present themselves, embracing cuteness—a quality typically dismissed as frivolous or immature—becomes a form of rebellion.
 
The work challenges conventional notions of power and visibility, highlighting how self-expression through aesthetics can serve as both armour and a manifesto.
