When a Song Becomes Part of Your Life

Can you hear me Major Tom? reflects on the emotional reach of David Bowie’s music, which has accompanied listeners through moments of change, loneliness and discovery. The painting turns that feeling into a quiet pop-cultural scene, where Bowie’s voice seems to travel beyond the record and into everyday life.

Part of Pop Icons in Everyday Life, the work reflects on how pop culture becomes part of real life: not just something we watch or listen to, but something that shapes memory, identity and the way we see the world. Here, Bowie becomes a shared point of connection for the many people who have found comfort and inspiration in his music.
