The Distortion of Reality

Brumas represents the moment when vision begins to fail. After the connection, after the promised relief, after the seduction of the machinery, the man no longer perceives reality clearly. What once felt heavy begins to feel light. What once hurt begins to be confused with peace.

In this series, the mist is not only a visual phenomenon. It is an alteration of consciousness. The machine has not only surrounded the man; it has entered his perception. It has touched his memory, his pain, and his sense of truth.

Brumas is the long sleep of the connected man. Reality becomes soft, but false. Pain seems suspended, but it has not been healed. Sadness is covered by illusion. Hope disappears beneath an induced calm that keeps him breathing, but without answers.

Within La Parábola, this series marks the moment when captivity becomes almost invisible. The man no longer fights against the machinery because he has begun to breathe its aroma. The mist does not destroy him with violence; it puts him to sleep.

Excerpt from La Parábola:

“The road is sea,
The sky is cotton,
Pain is peace,
Sadness, illusion.”

This series invites the viewer to face an uncomfortable question: how often do we confuse relief with freedom, calm with truth, mist with revelation?
