In Trust Me, You Would Never Want to Miss It, Enoc Perez presents a striking composition featuring the iconic Moutai liquor bottle and glasses, set against a richly saturated background of red and amber. The vivid hues appear almost as if they are poised to envelop the central objects, creating a tension that draws the viewer into the scene. Symbolically, the chosen palette evokes a range of associations – red and amber, traditionally representing passion, warmth, and prosperity, particularly in Chinese culture, where these colours are imbued with notions of good fortune and celebration. However, beneath this surface of opulence lies a more unsettling interpretation. The same colours, when viewed from another perspective, may also symbolise danger, aggression, or violence. Perez’s choice to immerse the Moutai bottle within such a dynamic chromatic field subtly engages with these dual meanings, offering a layered commentary on the complexities of desire, indulgence, and the precarious balance between allure and risk. Through this masterful interplay of colour and symbolism, Perez invites the viewer to explore both the seductive and potentially perilous aspects of the luxury and status embodied by Moutai.
