I love absurd, long old titles for artworks. It’s like how The Surrealists did it. Surrealism is a label; it’s a designation; it points the viewer’s mind in a curious direction; it creates a predicament; an irresolvable frustration that is resolved in utter nonsense. But you know that utter nonsense is sense to the unconscious mind, even while the conscious mind abjectly rejects such bafflement.
I’ve come to see smoke used symbolically as prayers, or intense thoughts. The flaming head of this girl is the smoke on the horizon of revolutions to come. The idea of playing with tanks and pranks, along with a ball of something with “God” printed on it denotes the naïveté of playing with life, DNA, spirituality, psychology, technology, religion, deeply held beliefs, youth, the elderly, and on and on and so forth.
We have a new domain of action in life called the internet. We’ve never had this before in our known little chiaroscuro of history crafted for us by our leaders. Many of us are also waking up to previously denied and suppressed psychological and spiritual powers, such as psychic perceptions and so forth. Our potentials are indeed baffling. Yet, the powers that be remain eager to stay on top and retain the illusions, fallacies, and paradigms they’ve always enjoyed without question.
