Evelyn, an artist struggling with the lack of financial success in her art, starts learning how to become “degen” (a term for someone deeply immersed in online subcultures). Initially, she puts in great effort, working almost without sleep and facing numerous difficulties. At first, she constantly loses money and struggles to get recognition for her work. However, she does not give up and increases her efforts, eventually achieving success and making a significant amount of money. Every morning, she starts her day with an oat milk espresso frappuccino, which provides her with energy and motivation.
Born under the sign of Gemini, Evelyn is known for her creativity and variability. Her Pisces rising sign enhances her imagination and emotional depth, which helps her stay resilient during tough times. With Venus and Mars in Leo, Evelyn’s confidence and love for the spotlight are evident. Mercury retrograde in Virgo indicates she may face occasional communication issues and unexpected setbacks in her plans, but these challenges ultimately strengthen her.
After all her efforts, Evelyn realizes that the success and wealth she has gained are not satisfying. She begins to question the value of her art. After much contemplation, she eventually decides, in line with Adorno’s idea in “The Culture Industry,” that art is two-faced. She understands that art serves both as a means of creative freedom and as a commodity for consumption. This realization profoundly changes Evelyn’s perspective and drives her towards a new quest.
