About The Artwork

"The World Went Bananas !: ROCK BOTTOM (or is it?)" * Did we hit rock bottom? If in my previous work, where the phone and bananas represented a dizzying world, in "Rock Bottom" we reached the lowest level of all this madness. * But is it really? If there is something that we can infer with just a little observation, it is that it is much easier to deconstruct something than to build it. To destroy something, just hit its weak point. It can be hard to find, but there always is. By definition, only God is indestructible. Not even the famous Achilles escaped. But to effectively build something ... That's another story. * This is one of the reasons why I am not surprised with certain artistic, political, social views and so on, who think destructively, dressed in something positive; something so common today, since academic thought has been dominated for decades by one of the most narcissistic generations in history (read about author Ken Wilber's "green meme" in the book "A Theory of Everything" or "Boomeritis"). * It is very easy (more than ever) to stand out for "change" and other "noble" causes. Oops, wait. Change from what exactly? And where? And who will do the work of this change, at what cost? That's where everything gets entangled (or in portuguese "emBANANAdo". * The journey, whatever it may be, does not end at the top. Most mountain deaths occur right on the descent. Exhausted from reaching the summit, they forget that the journey is made up of the ascent AND the descent. That is why there is often frustration when a dreamed objective is achieved. What we fought so hard for has been achieved. But was that what we were really fighting for? * We boast of human achievements, especially technological / scientific ones, but the advance of consciousness occurs in very small steps. This gap is what generates much of the suffering, in addition to dangers on a global scale. If we do not look inward, both as individuals, as well as society, there is no technology that arrives, nor bottom in that well. * Eric
