Ghost 13

Unfazed

They want to see me fail, 
Disparaging my efforts at every turn. 

For a long time, there was no escape. 
The voice I would often hear- was in my head. 

Sharp tongues speaking in dead languages. 
Hoisting my failures before me, to further break my spirit. 

Strangling my voice into a silent mouthing of words. 

Erasing me. 

Contorting self-worth into disrepair. 
Leading deeper into uncertainty... 

*** In a moment of clarity- strength, will and identity revealed itself in the very thing they told me I was... [Garbage] 

And for that- I must thank you, Heckler(s).

Or perhaps fate will always find us here // Trapped // With all of the things we thought we knew // The end of // Everything and nothing // Worlds collide // Set free // The worst possible scenario.

The context of this piece is meant to draw out emotion in the viewer. Some may feel sad, nostalgic, upset, relatable, etc. The one thing i wanted to accomplish with this one is to make others feels SOMETHING when they see it.

It has symbolism that points to the message, like the broken door lock, the car accident, keys dropped on the floor, the demonic side of the man's head who is drunk on power over him, the baby pepe hiding under the table, the letter on top of the table, the beer bottle used as a last minute flower vase, messages written in the walls named after unreleased Moments in Abstraction.

I think all of these things accumulated- represent parts of me in various stages of my life. Unpacking what perhaps could have been if I hadn't began to deal with my internal battles/addictions/recklessness from young adulthood leading up to fatherhood.

Accumulation of the Inevitable...

Against all odds, we exist...

Yet we willfully waste away with the mundane and material. 
We destroy the very beauty we document in literature.
Move at speeds in which we simply cannot appreciate anything.

If we leave room for life to happen around us-
The creatures of the forest, sea and sky
Will return to rebuild. 

Leave Room For Life To Happen Around You...

We are all just spinning tops.

My favorite past time- making sense of chaos.

Background- this piece was one of the first finished pieces in the Meta-Garbage archive. 

I remember finishing it and sitting back- knowing with every fibre of my being that this was an concept I needed to pursue.

We have been overcome with patterns and routine...

Fragmented Moment #2

SYEG took Grandma's advice and started doing his own research on influencers Bin.ETH and Binboy Crypto. 

He heard they run a Rug stand behind the Red Lobster off Crenshaw - SYEG seems to like what he sees...

Sitting on the ground 
Under a canopy of green trees 
and worry "leaves"...
For a moment- I can breathe,
Breaking the silence 
Of these distant memories

I miss autumn when I was a kid. Leaf piles were so fun.
