This artwork is part of a thought-provoking trilogy (now lost) that aims to illustrate the concept of “doublespeak” within the realm of social media, highlighting its role as a tool for social manipulation.
In this image, I sought to extend the visual narrative introduced in the first piece, which depicted the ear canal and brain. Here, the focus shifts to the continuation of that interpretation. The letters that were once meticulously organized on the stairs, representing clarity and transparency, have now tumbled to the bottom of the Marcel Duchamp stairway, metaphorically entering the realm of the brain. This symbolizes the descent into the realm of doublespeak, where communication becomes distorted and manipulation takes hold.
