Continuation of the works and ideas inspired from William Burrough’s book The Soft Machine (1961).
Started to evolve the concept of twisted dystopian social, cultural and image ideals as hyperbolic extensions and inflations of current ideals. Also wanted to play on the creation of a deity that epitomizes and emblazons these ideals; abstracted perfection of the ideal body, specifically the female body and the male gaze, false faith and deceit, death and the longing for something fantastical and ‘pure’ to believe in and the symbols that follow these.
