The work features cable ties fanning out from the rims of the glasses in alternating colours (one pair with yellow and white, one pair with red and black).

The work’s title references the popular book series ‘Where’s Wally?’ which challenges readers to find the character Wally within detailed cartoon style illustrations. The word ‘wally’ is also an Australian slang term used endearingly to describe someone who is being silly or frivolous. Despite the often chaotic state of our world, (which can feel much like a scene from Where’s Wally?), we may still look for and express the silly and fun parts within us a means of reaping and sharing joy.
