CORRUPTION

Adam Strange continues his observations on the Essentia- the world as it really is. These artefacts expound how corruption breeds rot and decay of identity and the physical body. Capitalism, war crimes, post-truth, disease and greed, transfigure the subjects shown. The unconstrained degeneracy of society leads us to ruination of the planet for profit. Human putrescence can manifest in small intangible ways such as internet memes and government laws, or as collective trauma of groups and societies resulting in violence, death or extinction. Colour and form within the artwork bring into focus the sickening nature of humanity festering within our society, consuming life like maggots on death. The view opens us to the profane and the decrepit monuments we will leave behind.
