Hysteria


The original was very disturbing... why is a pot full of flowers in the middle of a field? who put it there and where is she/he? Did something terrible happened? why only use one color? I bought it for the frame and to paint over the canvas but I decided to add another image to explain/scream/color the scene with social commentary. From a political point of view, it is a slap in the face of innocence (or the reluctance to see beyond the propaganda we are fed each day). The are brute forces surrounding our landscape of apparent benevolent settings. If we don't realize to discover the real machinations of the powerful we will suddenly be awaken by a shock. Not a nuclear flash per se, but by more pervasive and immediate events... the loss of our basic rights, the economic crisis, the plundering into a war for resources and power, the rape of earth, the sacrifice of our future generation by the greed of the few.
