"

Today's commodities and signs of perceived value will soon become obsolete, as the outdated are eagerly eaten and vomited up again in a fantastical new parasitic arrangement. This customised homemade Molotov cocktail, replete with smiley face stickers and a fistful of dollar notes as a fuse, sits spellbound in a world that is already ablaze, a giggling fetishisation which epitaphs the futility of any form of revolution. Detritus is the new currency in an economics of obvious ruin. This work is a hysterical celebration to the perpetual insanity of consumerism."
