touch-up

clea is such a mood. the quest for perfection in art is so real, and so very frustrating.

Here's a post 'A life to love' ending scene i've wanted to paint ever since i finished the game.

I picked Verso's ending because it seemed like a pragmatic choice if you only take into consideration the Dessendre and their relationship with the canvas and their grief. But as i kept thinking about it i ended up thinking about Maellicia and how I'd feel if i were in her place.

She got to live another life, free from the pain and expectations, where she found her people and a sense of belonging, I can't blame her for not wanting to let go, especially since her life as Maelle is as real to her as her life as Alicia. The way Verso's ending rips it all away from her makes me realize she ends up with more things to grief, another life and another brother.

While i do think facing your grief is the right path to take, being forced to do so that violently, and losing even more things in the process must've been heartbreaking, i can't imagine her getting over it so easily...

Clea's painted wrath.

Ever since i finished the game I've wondered about Clea and the act of painting over someone's creation.

For her it's probably nothing, if you think about it from her point of view, she must've felt insulted, to see a painted copy of herself her grieving mother made out of desillusion, living a perfect life while she was struggling picking up the pieces of a broken family. her anger is understandable, if not justifiable. It's terrifying knowing someone can have that level of power.

For the painted people and us it's one of the most terrible thing a litteral god can do. To paint over someone's essence, to erase what make them human with a simple brushstroke. This duality is fascinating to me so i tried to recreate it.

God it has to suck being Verso.

You're a memory. A fragment. Imagined into reality based on a guy who died to save his family. You want so badly to die to save your family, but they aren't your family. You love them like they are your family because you were created to be him. You're not him. He's dead. You're immortal. He ran straight into death and so you were created with the same impulse but you can't do it. You literally cut yourself in half to make other people laugh. You watched a guy die for your sister the same way you did, except it wasn't you and he wasn't real and you're not really her brother and she cares about him far more than you. You want to die so badly. You were born wanting to die. You're not real, and your mother, who you love, is dying to keep you alive. You aren't really alive. Your family is tearing itself apart trying to kill you. You can't die.
