Dorcas share with us: "I used the idea of using the form of a toy as a platform to make a social comment. I worked on the theme of fast food and how the influence of McDonald’s around the world is such a phenomenon. Ronald McDonald, the mascot of McDonald’s, I will like to say, has become more than just a simple mascot or brand spokesperson but over time, has grown to become a likeable and trustworthy character, especially amongst children, whether he is worthy of it or not."

Dorcas adds: "Here, I portrayed Ronald as having the elevated status of an idol, referencing religious statues and their various postures. Incorporating the elements of the fast food restaurant, my figure is of Ronald posing like an idol, somewhat powerful yet calm in nature, as alike to idols people pray to."
