Now it finally happened: more refugees from Bosco's Garden have arrived!

I played around with this prompt for a different reason, but getting these results are unexpected, after I ran it together with a completely different image from an earlier irteration.

EVOLVED from DreamShaper v8 with RealVisXL v4 Lightning

Originally, the seed image came from a creation over a year ago, February 2023 on Deep Dream Text2Dream, where I used a different prompt:

**Purple heart outside the body - Why do we electrocute men for murdering an individual and then pin a purple heart on them for mass slaughter of someone arbitrarily labeled “enemy"? highly detailed imperial colors cinematic postprocessing Hieronymus Bosch H.R. Giger Giger Alien Cthulhu**

I ran into this by chance again and thought I try it out with one of my more recent prompts about 'Ayahuasca', the basics of which originated with my good friend Paulo Cunha - but in this case I added a 'lecture' about Cyberspace quoting Timothy Leary.

PROMPT:

PURPLE HEART IN CYBER SPACE - A Surreal Fantasy Painting by the Mystic Otto Rapp under the Influence of funny bone extract with ayahuasca, inspired by Ernst Fuchs, H.R. Giger and Beksinski, oilpaint on canvas, detailed strokes, psychedelic collage, cryptid taxidermy in Bogomils Universe, imperia colors. Applying different models, prompt weights and noise to a image from our perceived reality, using AI, moves it into alternate dimensions that are subjected to quantum physics. And a new philosophy emerged called quantum physics, which suggest that the individual’s function is to inform and be informed. You really exist only when you’re in a field sharing and exchanging information. You create the realities you inhabit. Timothy Leary, Chaos & Cyber Culture

Additional Comment:

another one of those bot auto mods - this is labelled NSFW - but I don't care, can't use it in challenges anyway because of a supplied seed image - probably can't use a anti-war statement in the text, I assume. Bravo Nightcafe - we are all supposed to cheer for WAR!

✍️ Artist Statement:

In The Clock Mother’s Lament, time is not a measurement — it is a mouth. The portrait is an invocation of feminine eternity twisted by grief, mechanized by ritual, and locked in an endless cycle of hunger and warning. The gothic timepiece becomes a stage for psychological exile the child in red below stands as witness, or perhaps sacrifice, to the devouring past.

The piece interrogates the liminal space between childhood and nightmare, memory and prophecy. Inspired by early fairy tales, mourning rituals, and my own reflections on gendered mythologies, The Clock Mother’s Lament is both a shrine and a siren, echoing loss through frozen time.

This work belongs to my “Spectral Automatons” series, where timekeeping devices, feminine archetypes, and dream logic converge into quiet terror.

Artist Statement:

Where the Jester Waited is an exploration of corrupted nostalgia and lingering archetypes. In this imagined ruin, I place the modern jester not as entertainer, but as an ancient guardian. The clown here is oversized, spectral, perhaps divine… and wholly out of place. Or is it?

This piece plays with fears that feel too large to name. It invites questions about what we bury in ruins, and who still waits among them.

The jester doesn’t laugh. He watches.

And he remembers who entered… and who never returned.

This piece, titled “The Veil Between Realms”, explores the concept of identity, illusion, and the fragile boundary between life and death. The eerie figure, draped in tattered robes, seems to exist in a liminal space, neither fully present nor absent. The mask held in one hand suggests the shedding of a false identity or the haunting reminder of a lost soul. The dim red light in the background heightens the sense of danger and foreboding, giving the scene a surreal, nightmarish quality.

The figure’s obscured face and long, stringy hair create a sense of mystery, as if they are hiding something far darker beneath the surface. The crumbling, gritty floor adds realism to the scene, grounding the viewer in a desolate, otherworldly space. There’s a deliberate tension between beauty and horror, life and death, with every shadow and fabric detail enhancing the unsettling mood.

This piece portrays a dystopian, nightmarish vision of a post-apocalyptic world, where fear and surrealism collide. A massive spider-like creature looms ominously over a desolate, cracked road. Its towering legs seem to straddle the entire landscape, casting long shadows that blend with the fog and decay of the abandoned buildings around it. The muted, eerie glow from behind the creature heightens the tension, creating a haunting silhouette that commands attention. The cracked road, broken debris, and withered vegetation all contribute to the sense of isolation and dread. This artwork invites the viewer to confront the unknown, the monstrous, and the unsettling beauty found within the decay of civilization.

Artist Statement:

This piece captures the exact moment the mask becomes the face.

There’s no performance anymore only presence. The Lamb figure is no longer entering the scene but returning from it, smeared with evidence yet unbothered. It’s about consequence without remorse. A testimony to what happens when the door opens inward, and something ancient walks through.
