Ride or Die

A cowboy in a tracksuit clings to a bucking horse at sunset. Below him, a snake coils; above, a devilish cherub and a rare blue rose hover like omens. Ride or Die is a surreal showdown between desire, danger, and identity.

This work toys with the performance of masculinity, the tug-of-war between control and surrender, and the absurd poetry of modern toughness. It blends cowboy iconography with queer softness, mythic chaos, and a distinctly streetwise flair.

Frankowicz builds a world where symbolism gets weird, emotion rides high, and even the horse looks like it knows what’s going on. It’s part rebellion, part confession — and fully unbothered by the rules.
