About the creation
A claw machine in an arcade snatching prizes for winners, reigniting success and excitement. The desire to express thoughts and act on impulses through a soliloquy monologue is simultaneously a word game as well as an unexpected form of wilderness fun. An illustration of an emotional maneuver and a development of a desire to control participants, the tints represent a dynamic edge, sexual charisma, and an eagerness to explore.
