[ENG] “The Flowers of Evil” - 2014 I want to tell a little bit what is behind my work.
I did a lot of research to realize this subject, Baudelaire is a literary man that I love and I wanted to pay a tribute to him. There are many hidden symbols in this subject : three women of Baudelaire’s life, like three muses. A tribute to Orientalism that marked his life. And of course, a tribute to “ The Wrecks”, the collection composed of all the poems having been removed from the “Flowers of evil”, for “outrage to public morality and good morals”. I made it a point to include these wrecks in my “Flowers of Evil”. I also represented “The Giantess”, one of my favorite poems of this collection but also many other poems, such as “The Sun”.
Finally, there is a tribute to Waterhouse and Mucha in this painting. The boat in the foreground, is inspired by Waterhouse’s “The Lady of Shalott”, and the yellow mountains in the background, are a tribute to Mucha’s “The Celebration of Svantovit”, from the Slavic Epic.
Baudelaire did not like nature enough to appreciate this painting, but I could not deny my love for the forest and the ruins.

. . [FR]🇨🇵️ “Les Fleurs du Mal” - 2014 J'ai envie de raconter un petit peu ce qui se cache derrière mon travail.
J'ai fait beaucoup de recherches pour réaliser ce sujet, Baudelaire est un homme de lettres que j'affectionne et je voulais lui rendre un bel hommage. Il y a beaucoup de symboles cachés dans ce sujet : trois femmes de la vie de Baudelaire, comme trois muses. Un hommage à l'orientalisme qui jalonna sa vie. Et évidement, un hommage aux “Épaves”, le recueil composé de tous les poèmes ayant été retirés des “Fleurs du mal”, pour « outrage à la morale publique et aux bonnes mœurs ». Je me suis fait un devoir d'inclure ces épaves dans mes “Fleurs du Mal”. J'ai également représenté “La Géante”, l'un de mes poèmes favoris de ce recueil mais aussi beaucoup d'autres poèmes, comme “Le Soleil”.
Pour finir, Il y a un hommage à Waterhouse et à Mucha dans cette peinture. La barque au premier plan et inspirée par “The Lady of Shalott” de Waterhouse, et les montagnes jaunes, à l'arrière plan, sont un hommage à “The Celebration of Svantovit”, issu de l'Epopée Slave, par Mucha.
Baudelaire n'aimait pas assez la nature pour apprécier ce tableau, mais je ne pouvais renier mon amour pour la forêt et les ruines.

This is worse. Looking at these you can tell they have no significant monetary value. They were confiscated as a fear tactic. Nothing more.
This picture breaks my heart everytime it appears in my dash. It’s a fear tactic, alright but—
The first one in the left corner: It’s a first communion rosary, and it’s not cheap.
The black one in the first line: That’s a widow rosary and it’s old.
The white one in the second line: is a commemoration rosary. It has a miniature picture in the round part. I haven’t seen that since the 70′s.
In the third line, multicolor one: It’s an Anima mundi, I have only seen those in the hands of Rosary ministery’s old ladies. The oldest ones are from the 80′s after Juan Pablo II came to Mexico for the first time. It’s one of the old ones, I know because the crucifixes are different. The third one on the fourth line: Red and gold. The style is old, the metal is dark, that’s a 50′s rosary, probably a quinceañera one (or it’s maybe older, from the 40′s when the brides carried red roses with their offerings).
The fifth one on the fourth line: It’s a quinceañera rosary with Ignatius’s tear. The style is old and in my part of Mexico is orphan girls who used it. At least it was when I was young. The third one of the fifth line: the blue one with the anchor. That one I have only seen in Veracruz and it doesn’t look new. The fifth one on the fifth line: That’s a 90′s wedding rosary. Black and white patterns were popular on that date. The fourth one on the last line: That’s a first communion rosary from the 30′s. It’s delicate and most probably silver. The rest wrench my heart too, the humble everyday rosaries with wooden beads and knots. Those are cheap and bear the wear and tear of their user handling. But those I described are much more.
Those are mother’s rosaries.
Those are not just rosaries. Those are mementos, that’s the proof of their families stories. They are taking from them the only portable things they can carry to feel the connection to their families. It’s not a fear tactic. Call it like by its name. It’s dehumanization.
when i was a kid, i thought shonen heroes kind of overdid the “friendship is important” thing, but now that i’ve grown up i find myself tearing up and my heart grows three sizes sometimes when my friends call me by pet names or just do the smallest stuff for me like printing things and like… I’m sorry I doubted you naruto you were right all along my friends ARE my heart
is germany okay
