Torn between escapism and reality
_
The world thrust into chaos, finding comfort in playing videogames or working at the work bench.
Trying to not get too disconnected from worldly topics, a loose grasp on reality.
Too loose. Getting pulled back into avoidance.
An everlasting oscillation between two states, a balance that never fully settles.
A sense of unrest left.
_
Recognizing the connecting threads between the two.
Fantasizing about worlds, chaos endures in a tangible form, burned on a CD or cast into silver.
Consumer of chaos, creator of chaos.
A coping mechanism, maybe?
_
The screen as a canvas. Emotions textured, sculpted and rendered.
Fantasy colliding with algorithms.
Chaos visualized, pixel by pixel.
A world both virtual and visceral.
Symbols of life, death and decay perpetual.
A reflection of raw existence, stripped of pretense.
_
Jewelry, mostly impractical and repulsive.
Bone encased in metal whispers of mortality.
Wounds, cracks, fractures. Echoes of pain, reminders of fragility.
Tarnished silver mirrors time, a quiet beauty.
A soft glow breaking through the unpleasantness.
Comfort in confrontation.
Provoking in decorating.
_
Fantasy rooted in reality.
Stories of outcasts, untold.
Artifacts of a world imagined, but deeply felt.
Jewelry as a bridge of worlds.
