I make art not only for fun, but to demonstrate emotions through the composition itself. I am inspired by my imagination and observations I see, and it heavily influences my art. This piece depicts three hands, an anchovy and a salmon. The message of this artwork is pertaining to the incestuous nature of culture and politics, and how they will simultaneously feed us to the beast of economic struggle, while preaching false promises and feigning virtue. This is based upon my observations over the past year.
The creation of this piece was exhausting but ended up conveying my message perfectly.
