Symbols are rhetoric. Rigggght. So is everything else. Right.

Here’s my ‘moodboard’. The intention behind this is rooted in depicting the falsities we are preached as a society. Adherence is only necessary if everyone else adheres. Adhere to some degree to achieve some degree of success. Anyways, that’s irrelevant. Just remember to work hard in high school so you can go to a good university so you can get a good job so you can have a big, pure family so you’re able to lock yourself behind your white picket fence while the world around you burns. It’s simple.

Let that seep in. Pure artistic expression. Sheesh.

I applied both the usage of visual elements such as representation through colour, as well as brief symbol usage(the no sleeping signs).I’d say this is a depiction of a dystopian reality except that is basically how we currently exist. Think about it. Pretty simple isn’t it. Text is utilized in order to make the message more consumable, as well as to plant some propaganda seeds in your little mind. (your mind only exists in relation to this.) The gushing metallic heart of capitalism continues to pump, sending clanker reinforcements anywhere but where they’re needed. Leaches. In paradise. Sucking the life out of you while you smile, clapping your hands in front of your brand new financed (monthly through blackrock subsidiaries) HD colourpop9000™️ 72-inch television set, drooling just a bit onto your pet labubu(which you’re still paying off yet have an insatiable hankering for a new one). Truly, and beautifully content in your squalor. Like a good American. Don’t be ashamed. Go on. Go buy another. Yes, because you want it, sure. Because you can. What else could pacify you if this is your world….. right?

Nothing’s ever good enough. More. I need more.
