So this is another of my digital painting concepts: a mechanical fish placed into water. His function is to survive but his hardware doesn’t tolerate his environment.
I think we all feel like that sometimes, right?
Mechanical Fish In Salted Waters
Welded together, but torn apart; it made some sense in the start.
On pale paper, plans look so pretty.
Still, other things I’ve seen before ended the same and so I swore that this would be a new kind of city.
I was made to survive in this… some sort of bonded bliss. Yet, malfunction
has got me floating down.
And they told me that I’d be dead. My wires should be cut and red, but open me up; you’ll be surprised with what you find.
A gear that beats instead of turns; chip that repeats instead of learns.
I feel like a wound that’s been mistreated.
But my programing was made for this, a hardware that does not exist. I’m not sure if I was ever completed– ’cause I feel so defeated, lost, confused, and depleted.
I don’t belong in the midst of that which I can’t exist. I’ll have to wait, next time I’ll be more witty.
But it’s all okay I’ll fix me soon and return to that pond under the moon.
They’ll all line up because at least I’m still pretty.
With love, always,
J.Schay
