A Darwin-style evolutionary frieze. Five figures. One chain.
A baby drinking formula. A student with a funnel bolted to his skull. A young man sealed inside his headphones and his Starbucks cup. A businessman hemorrhaging money while he burns himself alive. An old man, finally unchained — facing a coffin.
Each figure is a stage. Each stage is a transaction. He consumed what he was given, worked until it killed him, and arrived at freedom right on time — just in time to die.
The chain disappears at the end. That’s the reward.
MATERIAL & FORMAcrylic on canvas. Dark palette — blacks, greys, deliberate absence of warmth. Raised silver-toned borders frame the composition like a museum vitrine or a specimen display case. Red relief accents mark what the eye should not miss.
Thank you for supporting slow, intentional art.
Each work carries time, memory, and meaning.
