At first glance, “Pepsi Trouble” appears as a mere block of epoxy resin, unassuming and enigmatic. However, upon closer inspection, its true essence begins to unfold. Encased within the transparent resin lies a humble Pepsi can, its familiar logo serving as a poignant symbol of mass consumption and corporate influence. Yet, juxtaposed against this emblem of commercialism is an unexpected element—a miniature Pepsi-branded Rolex watch.

This juxtaposition serves as the crux of “Pepsi Trouble,” challenging viewers to confront the complexities of modern-day existence. The juxtaposition of the everyday Pepsi can with the luxurious connotation of a Rolex watch prompts reflection on the intertwining forces of consumer culture and status symbolism. What may initially seem like a simple fusion of objects is, in fact, a profound meditation on the interplay between materialism, identity, and societal values.
