The Daily Drip is a painting on Oil on
canvas, measuring m by 1.5m. It depicts a scene of an avid newspaper reader
who seems so absorbed on the reading that fails to notice water falling from
the walls and flooding the room where he remains seated and oblivious to the
troubled surrounding. This painting aims at drawing attention to the use of
the media, here represented by the newspaper, as a way to manipulate
opinions, create false reality and confuse in order to dominate and divert
the Reality to a false reality by creating false narratives and use of fear.
The painting also depicts a symbol of justice, as a wallpaper, stained by
mold and trickling dirty water refering to the use of lawfare that has
corrupted justice in order to dominate in this case as neo colonialism as it
happens in South America at this moment. With this painting I wanted to draw
attention to the dangers of the use of media and the corruption of justice. |
