To create Slingshot, Jean was inspired by the classic Surrealist film, Un Chien Andalou (1929), in particular, the iconic scene where the protagonists' eye is sliced open with a razor blade. In Jean's sculpture, this visceral gesture is retold by depicting a young boy who has taken out his eyeball and placed it in a slingshot, ready to fire. Through this self-mutilating act, Jean symbolises his personal artistic struggles, and the often self-destructive nature of creativity.
