A natural human behavior: the ambition for inexistent denomination currency, and an old good luck fortune on mindplaced there by an entity with cuestionable desires molding and machining beliefs. The same one, established as the solution, answer and cure for the mortals' troubles, interests and pleasures.

  • Consumption that offers no warning of danger, yet is presented as the Forbidden Fruit, is embraced organically and without measure.

The lines are the globalized meridians. Background: a pharmaceutical analysis shows that a new pill (available for sale) has more side effects than benefits, with only a slight and insignificant for an advantage (that seems llike a statistical error) versus a placebo.

*This machine doesn't guarantee it will fix personal insecurities or provide good taste.

  • 8x10. Acrylic/Watercolor on Canvas. Collage. Resin.

Original

En la transición de las líneas de mi pensamiento a versos:

Insípida su voracidad, nulo es su gozo
y mudo el aplauso de la fanfarria
replicada 
por efecto dominó.

Va... acumulando por capricho,
y con aspiraciones de una identidad propia.
En el amago de su auto aceptación:
Viene... en desesperación, y codiciosamente adoptando una percepción que le es ajena.

Entumecidos por su presunción, consumo y despilfarro. En este trance, mi sintaxis falla, y no tener sentido alguno para la sociedad moderna actual.

Autenticidad ficticia, genuina cotidianidad.

 

English version 

In the transition from my thoughts lines to verses:
Insipid, their voracity; void is their joy,and mute, the applause of the fanfare replicated by domino effect.

It goes... accumulating on a whim, aspiring to an identity of its own.
In the feint of its self-acceptance:
It comes... in desperation, greedily adopting a perception that is foreign to it.

Numbed by their presumption, consumption, and squander. In this trance, my syntax fails, holding no meaning whatsoever for modern society.

Fictitious authenticity, genuine everydayness.
