I Clipped my Own Wings and fell through the Earth

A visual interpretation of the poem bearing the same name by Dexuality Valentino.

This poem is also a song by the duo DVEC, from the album Everybody’s Talking, Nobody’s Listening, released in July 2019. The poem explores the inevitability of mortality and thus questions the existence of humanity.

We all suffer, and we will have battles to face in life. None of us are innocent and none of us are pure evil. We are shaped and sculpted by the world we inhabit. With the rapid brushstrokes and bold palette, this painting attempts to capture the intricate relationship between volatility and human nature.
