NIGEL GOH - JOYBOY OG
The Exploration of Void series is an introspective look into the self and the feelings of emptiness that we sometimes feel inside. Through this series, we explore ways that the self finds meaning to sustain its journey through life.
Joy Boy signifies our endless pursuit for comfort through the material, as a means to fill the emptiness we feel deep within our hearts. We toil tirelessly to gain the power to purchase the objects of our desires, yet it is this very effort that adds a strain to the self.
The material acts as our source of motivation and fuel. Joy and warmth radiate from the core and spreads throughout Joy Boy, giving him the protection needed to fight the humdrum of life.
Yet all too soon, this energy is depleted.
Joy Boy must continue his quest to attain the next object of desire to keep the fire burning — or risk falling prey to the growing emptiness.

CRAFTED WITH CARE
From early sketches to sculpting, molding, casting, and hand painting, each step is handled with care to preserve the emotion behind the design. We work in small batches, refining every surface and detail by hand so each figure feels personal and meaningful. Every toy is crafted to capture a moment of joy, created slowly and intentionally to bring a little light into someone’s day.
