A striking critique of industrial destruction and environmental decay, Rotting World presents a surreal and unsettling vision of our planet’s downfall. At the center sits a figure of contradiction- both powerful and decayed. A woman with a goat skull for a face meditates in eerie serenity, her exposed form blending with the toxic landscape. Her lap overflows with rotting organic matter, symbolizing both the fruits of human progress and the waste left in its wake. Blood seeps from the decay, staining the ground beneath her, as if the very earth itself is hemorrhaging from the wounds of civilization. Behind her, blackened factories churn out endless plumes of smoke, their fires burning even against the sunlit sky. The sun, once a giver of life, now glows ominously, its pentagram faintly carved into its surface- an emblem of power, corruption, or an ancient force watching as the world crumbles. The landscape is dry, cracked, lifeless. Industry has overtaken nature, leaving only dust, ash, and remnants of a world once thriving. Is she a deity of destruction, a prophet of ruin, or a silent witness to humanity’s self- inflicted demise? Rotting World challenges us to look at the cost of progress and the irreversible damage we inflict upon our planet. As the factories burn and the land withers, one question still lingers: Is this a prophecy, or have we already reached the point of no return?
