Amor de Carton con Luces Brillante

This one was fun. Fun to make, put the colors together. I just let myself go. I didn’t really think of it as being too on the nose or not. It’s a series of expletives in Japanese if you are wondering. Maybe do not translate this in front of children. That said, its a “childish” output to how I really felt. Can’t just yell expletives at someone with the expectation of getting your point across. Sometimes the “canvas” or better said, your surface is the best place to just let that go. You don’t need a rigorous/complex vocabulary to get those “ugh” and “oof’s” out. Sometimes it does feel good to just say “F**K”. But then what? After going thru a pretty nasty breakup, I went thru a couple of cycles. I’m not going to go thru them here, but I will say that one of them is thinking about the things I wished I had said. While in a relationshi,p one benefits from NOT cussing out your partner. You hold back out of respect and hopes that your approach will be reciprocated, and your partner will see that and in fact grow with you in the heated argument. That is NOT always the case. That said, this is a visual representation of everything I wanted to just say to her, what I saw her as what I actually thought about her. Is it nice ? No f*ck*ng way! But it’s not supposed to, this is why you hold back. But if you were to say what is on your mind, how destructive is that? Aside that it needs to be done in a healthy, more humane way blah blah blah. Get it out of your system helps. What if I personified it in someway. Not just as ONE entity but as a concept. What if the best way for me to see who this person was was not to see them as a person or a thing(i.e. the devil or something along those lines) but as a concept? In this case, the Red Light District. Regardless of where you are at with that world, It is a pretty empty world, it isn’t the place that you go to find actual love, and care. You can call it that, sure I don’t care what you want to call it. But I don’t think it is a place where. you go find that. It is just that, instant gratification. It leaves you penniless, empty and just gives you an obscure perspective on relationships. That, in short, is how I saw her. Who is she you ask? Don’t worry about it. This is what you get. A collection of pretty imagery that depicts what I thought was beauty, but in reality was just an empty shell with pretty makeup and no substance. Just someone who wanted your hard-earned dollar, your hard-to-get attention, and suck the life out of you(no pun intended). Burd is there just looking in, looking at the lights and signs that call anyone’s attention. Not realizing the mental abuse that this will lead him to. Any relationship leave you wishing you didn’t go there? This piece got that shit out of my system. This was like getting rid of nasty, dirty socks. It’s called “Amor de Carton con Luces Brillante”
