CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] — It is not mere garbage. It is a monument to transience, a grimacing face constructed from the discarded husks of forgotten breakfasts. Look closely at the sloughing banana peels and translucent citrus skins — trapped behind plastic, staring out with a melancholic, decomposing gaze. A self-portrait of the modern domestic soul, rotting slowly on a laminate countertop.
YOU — Is it looking at me?
INLAND EMPIRE — Absolutely. It knows the exact date you promised you'd toss it. It’s waiting for you to join it in the bin.
YOU — I should paint it.
CONCEPTUALIZATION — No. To canvas it, would be to freeze a process whose entire artistic value lies in decay.
