Red Suffocation

As much as Red can be a reminder of the sweet taste and aroma of red apples at parties, it can also be a reminder of Suffocation!   

I felt this suffocation when I stood under a plastic canopy at the local fish market in the 45-degree summer heat. The remaining fish were full of flies and gave off an unpleasant odor from the heat. The colored canopy with the power of the sun had made them red and the look of the fish was full of words.   

“Now you have joined us! Try to breathe under this canopy.” They spoke.   

I did it!   



Introduction

In this collection of photomontages, I tried to point out an equality of the human and animal status as creatures: red as a shade of suffocation. The stage where we feel “corrupted and disintegrated” by death, the moment when time stops. That stop exists for all creatures. But is death from hunting or trapping enjoyable? These works show the fish, as our captured creatures, inviting humans to think about how they feel; they are symbols of people who lie in blood due to oppression and stink because of corruption, where flies buzz around them. The fish in this collection do not complain about being eaten. Instead, they invite us to understand how they felt. Each fish in a red space symbolizes a person lying in blood because of cruelty.

I’m grateful for your interest and feedback on my artistic creations.

Sincerely,

You are cordially invited to watch the video statement “Red Suffocation”.

    what you're trying to say but these art works , is fascinating and understandable . Many of vegetarians , are vegetarian because of this matter . but the thing is we humans are not evolved enough to have a system , like a cycle fusion energy producer in our body , also , we can't handle the energy and its effects , same as fantasies we have about future of AI , which always lead us to extinction , not just us , the whole cell organization system include every living being on earth . it's because a robot , an AI , can survive only with electricity , and can survive in any condition which we can't obviously . Although we human separate ourselves from other living creature , but all of us , all of living creatures on earth are inside a circle of a huge organization , the cell organized creature . and this cell which become many and many , following the same code and same rule , surviving . this means a simple cell need energy to live . need material to build itself . so it began with simple plant which gathers material from soil . and then cycling until we come to the system . that lead the cell organized systems dilemma are we going to live like this , earn time by multiplying , so , soon there will be no sort of food and in other hand we are searching for immortality , some kind of system that doesn't need the multiply for it's short life time , doesn't need food or big process of energy like digestive system . all of these are leading us to robotic and AI . sooner we get the tech , sooner we will stop eat each other , or in short stop facing extinction in near future . all of what I said here means thousands of years , maybe millions , we "cell system" survived by feed from itself , by the way , we humans use to eat each other . so it's not new , but if we act like before , nothing will remain to eat , and the whole cell system will step back to it's first steps of evolving in millions of years before . stop multiplying before we reach 10 billion , control our population and find the tech before it gets too late . and get off this unstable planet and its solar system before sun itself eat all of us alive with earth ! cause that's the SUFFOCATION no one like to face .
