Joe Pan’s ‘Daily Affirmations’ aims to re-examine and deconstruct the basis and reason behind affirmations and positive statements that are often associated with today’s well-being culture as a means of mitigating negativity and overcoming self-sabotaging thoughts. An instinctive reaction to this culture, ‘Daily Affirmations’ seeks neither to override positivity nor to alleviate negative thoughts, but rather turn them into amusement through sarcastic and self-reflective commentary.
