Something is different lately. The Earth has
shifted its axis and now everything seems to
be moved to the right by a couple of inches. A
dark wind blows. Something is off. The birds
aren't flying south like nature normally
commands them to, and You can tell the
animals know something we don't. These are
Strange Daze
For Beautiful/Decay's "Strange Daze," I contributed to the book's narrative with
an introduction that set the stage for its semi-apocalyptic theme. The book
explored artists as hypersensitive visionaries, akin to canaries in a coal mine,
reporting back on the impending future. I captured the ominous yet insightful
perspective of the featured artwork, which highlighted the clash between
humanity and nature. Through an emphasis on themes of corruption, both
financial and governmental, intertwined with naturalistic elements, I established
the tension between man and the environment, creating a thought-provoking
journey through speculative phenomenon and celestial encounters.
