Inverted Cross thesis.


A symbol of anarchy.
A provocative satyric representation of haunted childhood fears.
Oppose to disempowerment of the divine within.

The inverted lifestyles of a dying world, shaken down... 
all our fears, delusions, prejudices, insecurities and distorted moralities,
lying there on the ground, looked down upon and laugh at, as we walk away from.

Don't believe, trust yourself.




 Every year, around April, a celebration regarding the resurrection of Jesus is about to take place into our lifestyles, the Easter. During the years since zombies believed to be true, bunnies giving birth to chocolate eggs joined the fairytale as representatives of the consumer capitalistic societies.




 
Today's culture always finds ways to interact with and enhance billboard fairy tales for their own economic interests (old fat male version of red riding hood drinking sugar water, evidence of love and care under sparkling trees). Constantly blocking our spiritual growth, a failure to enlighten the self.





Fortunately, religious tradition's roots have been slowly uprooted from our lives since the acknowledgement of critical thinking, understanding of the word "believe" and the access of information through the internet.
 


An apology to the possible offense that i might have caused, it's a form of rebellious reaction which occurs whenever i experience something that i perceive as offensive to my humane morality and intelligence. I always approach a discussion with the possibility of me-being-wrong.


Prove me wrong. Please. 


Thesis:

A photograph of a man pissing on an ATM

Provocative as a way of self expression. The oppressed dreams of our early lives. Awaken from American nightmares. The true self speaking his mind.


Provocative art and lifestyles, along the way, laughing at cultural insecurities and taboos as the social boundaries keep dissolving. Boundaries that keep us apart, eliminate our experiences and freedom. 
  
Provocative as to what society expects, (9 to 5 death and taxes) a rejection of a 
lifestyle made possible through social cultural engineering. 



An official "fuck off" statement to a lifestyle full of hatred, egotistic values and insecurities. 



The urge to stop consuming previous cultures and instead keep creating new ones. (sun worshiping out of trend, then Jesus came along, a black president, the perfect wife) We forgot ourselves along the way as well as our dreams. We have given too much attention to cultural icons that we forgot who is the creator of all. 


 

It is us.

Same meaning, different story.

At the end, which story would matter most to you?
Be the Author of your Bible. 












Let my thoughts and concerns lead to rest. 
I am sorry, for i have sinned.
I just wanna die laughing.
