Something changed or went wrong after Babylon and Egypt - we revered the cosmos then, and knew it was our destination - now we care about much more important stuff - like selfies, likes, form - people crave no substance, saves them from straining their puny brain and furthers the illusion that they are somehow special. It's the age of entertainment and surface, not thought and depth.
I am dedicating this artwork to Paulo Yarisantos for inspiring the text.
