sohjoa:holy grail, and i’d prefer if you left. more about this piece under cutfirst a PSA about my works and thoughts all together: idk how clear this was to everyone but i previously found explaining your work to be kinda patronising so i never did it. i also did not want my pieces to be too limited to authorial intent/reading only so i was very careful with my ramblings, but nowadays i understand that me telling my thoughts doesn’t automatically override everyone else’s and that they actually lift the value of the piece for some people. so i decided ill start including explanations/thought-flow with my works from now on ;3so here:this piece is about obsession with power (bought by a violent world) destroying you. its a pic taken moments before disaster, already too late.the holy grail has throughout media been depicted to grant all kinds of gifts. its treated in here as the last absurd way to get more power, something that takes him completely over the edge and most likely destroys him. after everything has already been done. everything lost; holiness (one wing of a fallen angel). material power (the head office surrounding him). sexuality (the body). speaking/words (he’s quiet now.) i love portraying quackity as broken femme fatale. this was first supposed to be way more connected to the whore of Babylon, six trumpets blasting, beast with seven heads bellow. etc. in the end it was only the holy grail (which is in some interpretations held by her) stayed. ’id prefer if you left’ is addressed to whoever is still in the space. firstly out of fear of the things that will erupt within him (something violent, monstrous. any of the things he wants to be). but also that he wishes to erase everyone worrying for him, cut every bond and burn every bridge. be alone. -- source link
