How to Smile functions as a playful blueprint, blending the starkness of medical illustration with the vibrant energy of pop art. By presenting a skull through the lens of a technical diagram, MCKIBILLO invites viewers to look at the skeletal structure not as a memento mori, but as a functional piece of hardware. The flat color design and bold graphic choices emphasize clarity and structure over traditional anatomical shading.

The work draws heavily on sci-fi aesthetics, suggesting a future where even basic human expressions are broken down into schematic parts. Through stylized animation aesthetics and dramatic lighting effects, the artist creates a sense of depth within a two-dimensional space. It is a study in the beauty of simplicity, turning a complex biological process into an accessible, graphic narrative.
