(Civilization) Death
Detail (it's a *really neat* detail) and BTS on IG: www.instagram.com/p/DJI9P8gx59k/?img_index=1
An image stuck in my head for over year was of a teenage-ish girl in a post-apocalyptic world in the basement of an abandoned office building, slinking back in a chair and staring down at the unfortunate soul stumbling across her path. Holding a scythe because she's Death.
So many random inspirations fade while others are lost to the realization that not every image needs to be made. Something about her stuck; I wanted to bring that beautiful girl to life.
Why this one? Unknown. Maybe the fact that death lurks anywhere and everywhere. Perhaps processing anxiety around natural disasters-- more the extreme suffering and fear of *not* dying in that case. Or the death sentence that was existing in the Bay Area (as in, if you live somewhere and never move, welp, that's where you'll expire. Fun thought if you're stuck in a place turning you into a hollowed-out husk of a human).
Then the eternal negotiation between the concept and the execution. Under the rule that there are no rules-- inspiration is not an obligation to replicate.
There's that magical point in your ArTIStic JoURney where you focus less on raw skill and creating images with wider appeal-- if anyone at all understands what makes sense in your head, great. If not, better yet!
Style influenced by the album covers for FLA's "Artificial Soldier" and "Mechanical Soul" :).
