I of the Storm

My construction of political avatars reflected a deep desire to fly in the face of power, to place myself squarely into the I of the Storm… I found myself in the zeitgeist of the post-apocalypse, it permeated everything I did, having peered over the brink… We were close to the edge of the abyss, oh so close… Take the TERRIFYING PLUNGE INTO THIS MONSTROUS STORM OF THE POST REALITY… An almost certain death-wish defines the prevailing narrative of our time, resulting in an endless stream of apocalyptic images that evoke every kind of nightmare known to man… Bring out the glitch, agitated nature of moving into the power of the Storm… no longer playing the game, living by the rules, being controlled, undoing the plot, breaking the set, risking it all, rejecting the pretense, STORMING THE TRUTH.
