Nobody Wins II - Mob Widow

A distorted game with no outcome.

Nobody Wins II reimagines the familiar logic of a tic-tac-toe grid, interrupting it with chaos, gesture, and rupture. The symbols repeat, blur, and lose their distinction; there is no clear opponent, no clear victory. What should be a simple system of winners and losers collapses into something unresolved.

The work reflects the illusion of control: the belief that with enough strategy or effort, life can be “won.” Instead, the grid fractures, the marks bleed, and certainty dissolves.

Beneath it all is a quieter truth: we are not as separate as we pretend. The same marks echo across the board, suggesting sameness, shared limits, and a future no one can fully shape.

nobody is irrelevant. nobody is invisible. your neighbors know your name and see you set off to school or work or the backyard everyday, sometimes with a spring in your step and sometimes with hunched over shoulders. there was this one time some stranger pointed you out to their friends and said “that’s the haircut I want” or “I have that shirt, too” or “they go to my school”. someone has admired the way you carry yourself or gave a presentation or even the way you’re so polite when you first meet a person. you’ve made comments or jokes that have stuck in minds of overhearers and eavesdroppers. when old classmates of yours think back to kindergarten or fourth grade or sophomore year they remember you and have an opinion of you. you’ve made recommendations of songs and restaurants and even cookie brands and actually introduced people to their all-time favorites. the cashier at the grocery store knows exactly what laundry detergent your household uses, or even if you don’t do your laundry at all.

you can never be irrelevant. there’s pieces of you everywhere, in a dozen lives, in a hundred dreams, in a million memories. maybe it’s true that you don’t have any friends, and you have a sucky relationship with your family or no family at all and no-one ever checks up on you, and you’re really very lonely, but that doesn’t determine your worth. you do. and so do the billions of small attributions you’ve already made to the world, both long-term and short-term. so thank you.
