The Script We Didn’t Write →
A shadow moves behind the scenes, pulling strings we barely notice. It’s like waking up in a James Bond movie, where hidden groups, call them secret societies, elites, or puppet masters, shape our days. They control the flow of money, news, and power, their hands invisible yet heavy. To them, we’re not far from savages, chasing screens and scraps while they commit crimes in plain sight, daring us to see. Take the Epstein files. Names of the powerful, tangled in stories of exploitation, float in whispers but never fully break the surface. These files, locked away or conveniently lost, point to a network that thrives on silence, where wealth shields the guilty. Meanwhile, in Gaza, a genocide unfolds, homes reduced to rubble, lives erased, yet the world’s stagehands call it conflict, not crime. The same system that buries those files fuels this destruction, profiting from chaos while we’re told to look away. Billionaires multiply, their wealth a tower casting shadows over the rest of us. The gap between them and everyone else widens, a chasm we navigate daily rising rents, stagnant wages, dreams deferred. They live above the rules, untouchable, while voices like Alex Jones or smaller platforms crying out against this script are muted. Deplatformed, demonized, or drowned out, they’re silenced not for lies but for daring to point at the stagehands behind the curtain. I see this play unfold. My work on canvas, raw truth fights to cut through the fog. But the daily grind, the news cycle, the endless distractions pull me to conform, to accept the script. The irony stings: we’re cast as savages in their story, yet they’re the ones writing atrocities, acting as if we won’t notice. Some reject this script. They speak, create, or simply refuse to play along, choosing to see the truth over the lies. In my studio, I fight to paint outside their lines, to make art that wakes us up. This world, scripted by hidden hands, thrives on our blindness. I ask: will we keep playing their savages, or will we rewrite the ending?
