From Magdalene Carmen's 'Addict' series of spectacular flag collages, singularly & playfully merging fine art & industrial pop aesthetics. Addict' is (1) advertising x pop culture commentary (2) articulation of the universal corporeal-spiritual/vice-virtue/conscious-unconscious tug of war defining the human condition (3) summation of the artist's romantic-erotic psyche in the capital city context. (4) However else It speaks to you.
