"La Reina Roja Okrrr" The Rabbit Hole Series

24" x 30.5" Original acrylic on hand-built white birch art panel (by Nelson Perez Sr)
This piece reimagines Cardi B as the Red Queen, a figure caught between adoration and scrutiny. The playful mugshot format reflects how the public turns her life into entertainment—celebrating her authenticity while simultaneously judging her every opinion. The plaque references the highly publicized court case that media and audiences consumed like a spectacle. By placing her in this Wonderland-meets-reality setting, the work explores how society elevates women like her into symbols, heroes, or villains depending on what best entertains them.
