In Urge IX, KAWS presents Companion in a vibrant and dynamic portrayal that captures the essence of tension and intrigue. Rendered in a vivid green hue, Companion takes center stage within the composition, commanding attention with its bold presence.\

However, the character's face and body are partially obscured by four hands, each bearing a distinctive cross that mirrors Companion's crossed-out eyes. These hands create a sense of confinement and restraint, hinting at themes of powerlessness and struggle.

The use of crosses as a repeated visual motif adds depth and symbolism to the artwork, echoing KAWS' signature visual language. Through this portrayal, KAWS prompts viewers to reflect on the challenges and obstacles faced by individuals in asserting their own identity and agency.
