The Jetpack Backpack reimagines childhood fantasy through a satirical lens, transforming a backpack into a full-scale rocket booster, complete with faux flames and patriotic decals. Drawing from space-race nostalgia, national pride, and the urge to escape, it reflects on the cultural obsession with progress and the myth of upward mobility. The piece asks where we’re all rushing to, and who gets left behind in the name of launch.
