Short Change Hero — Rebecca Rose
Rebecca Rose'Short Change Hero', 2025, by Rebecca Rose. 3d spatially collaged digital animation, dimensions: 1920x1080, duration: 0:40. Original soundtrack composed with AI assistance and sound mixing by the artist. Are heroes even possible in a world where everyone is flawed? And why are we so quick to discard them once they've fallen from grace, off a towering pedestal that we ourselves built? 'Short Change Hero' is about disillusionment with those we place on pedestals, rooted in human imperfection and our tendency to idealize others. We project onto them qualities that align with our values, hopes, aspirations, desires, dreams. It becomes less about the person and more about our individual need for symbols of greatness... for something to believe in. But when the facade cracks, simply through exposure of their humanity and imperfections, we're left grappling with disappointment, betrayal, and our own cynicism. Because we just can't tolerate it.
