f.lux


slick oil drips from the vent

split the gas 3 times

hit the cement

feel the wind blow 

light from the window

the back bone split and it’s bent

the need to repent

ain’t broke but feel it breaking

ain’t spoke with god in a minute 

every movie that's making

counting chips, taking

can’t keep, ain’t weak

time for anybody else it’s the fingers that’s shaking

asking damn 

near 

everyone how it is 

but they don’t holler back

the mud’s in the throat 

it’s a free for all

how’s y’all aching 

Concept

This installation piece explores how immigrating to the States has turned me into an observer. The lands around my home in Bulgaria are being destroyed while my people are suffering in the face of the war in Ukraine. 

I attempt to process the chaos of our contemporary media landscape by interrogating the absurdity and contradictions of my world.
