Truth through a Veil

A visual commentary on how power sedates the public.

Truth Through a Veil, explores the parasitic relationship between the ruling elite and the collective consciousness. At its center is a Hand of Glory—a macabre talisman that steals consciousness. Held aloft by the scaled grip of a dragon (the plutocracy), the hand emits a hypnotic smoke. This vapor is inhaled by the skull of a sheep, symbolizing a populace that has been sedated by the power that holds them captive. A world where even the breath of resistance is eventually harvested and rebranded as a trend, a cynical cycle of turning real pain into a marketable aesthetic.
