This paper collage confronts the chaos and imbalance consuming our world. At the very top, a Greek temple, known for its simplicity and harmony, is displayed in a violent red. A symbol of fear, anger, and the fractures that define our time. The temple, once a monument of balance, now stands in stark contrast to the dissonance around it.
Surrounding it are patterns that represent the diversity of people, yet they are rendered in stark black and white. This contrast symbolizes our inability to embrace and truly see the richness of human individuality, instead forcing everyone into rigid, binary categories—“black or white”—overlooking the beauty of diversity in favor of uniformity.
Beneath this broken structure lies a barren desert, its emptiness punctuated only by a dead animal and an abandoned road—a stark metaphor for a world disconnected from nature, from life itself. A naked woman, poised in the act of shaving her face, further challenges the norms of identity. Her figure, the epitome of conventional beauty, is at odds with her action—shaving away not just physical hair, but perhaps the very idea of gender. This moment hints at the battle to redefine and accept all beings, a plea for harmony in a world that resists it.
The words "spell the end of humanity" act as a haunting reminder of our inability to live in peace, to protect each other, and to build the unity that this world desperately needs. This piece doesn't just reflect the world as it is; it challenges us to look at what we are losing.
