About the Artwork:
Tom is the system. Jerry is done playing by the rules.
In Escape the System, a classic Tom and Jerry chase becomes a metaphor for breaking away from convention and choosing freedom over the familiar path.
Jerry is escaping the rat race, leaving the system behind to create something of his own. Above him, the words “Escape the system, make your own” and “Startup” emerge from the chaos like signals of a new beginning.
A ladder marked with a question mark leads upward into the unknown. It represents the uncertainty that comes with stepping outside the established path: risk, possibility and the courage required to build something without knowing exactly where it will lead.
Tom, meanwhile, is desperate to pull Jerry back. He represents the system itself: familiar, persistent and determined to keep the chase going. But Jerry has already made his decision.
Energetic, humorous and full of movement, Escape the System transforms the endless cartoon chase into a contemporary story about entrepreneurship, independence and self-determination.
The work reflects one of Kossi’s recurring ideas: freedom does not necessarily come from winning within the system. Sometimes, it begins with deciding to leave it.

My work explores freedom in its many forms through pop culture, ambition, nature and the choices that shape the way we live. In my Pop Art, familiar characters and cultural symbols become a language for exploring success, money, love, independence and the contradictions of contemporary life. Icons such as Scrooge McDuck, Mr. Monopoly, Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson are removed from their familiar narratives and placed into new ones sometimes humorous, sometimes provocative, but always reflecting something about the world we live in and what we choose to value. Alongside this, my abstract work has evolved through a closer connection to nature. Living and working between wild landscapes in South Africa has shifted my perspective from the symbols of success toward something more elemental — land, time, movement, solitude and the freedom that comes from living closer to nature. What connects these seemingly different bodies of work is a continuing search for freedom. Freedom to succeed. Freedom to question. Freedom to change. And ultimately, freedom to live life on your own terms. I believe art can shift perspective. For me, creativity is not only a way of making images, but a way of understanding life — and continually redefining what truly matters.
