This painting unfolds a spectral landscape: a wasteland of technological debris where mutant, maimed, posthuman, and monstrous bodies gather as a community of remnants. The scene emerges from a hybrid of real-world photographic documentation and in-game photography from video games like Cyberpunk 2077, expanding the notion of archive and testimony into the virtual realm.
In the foreground, figures inspired by performers and artists from Mexico’s alternative scene—such as El Muertho de Tijuana, Lechedevirgen Trimegisto, La Bala, and Bruja Narcisa—are caught in a choreography of estrangement: prosthetics, crutches, heels, wheelchairs, makeup, and washing machines reimagined as capsules for introspection. Each body resists not through spectacle, but through ontological disobedience—their very existence disrupts the order of the visible.
The work functions as a pictorial manifesto on desire as a form of illness—not as pathology, but as an amorous bond between impossible bodies. Amid the toxic, decaying landscape, affection endures like radioactive residue: dangerous, luminous, and beautiful.
