networked.art: Pietà of the Fruit Fly

1/1 · digital paintingA compositional remix of the Pietà. The Virgin holds not a man but a fruit fly worn down to nothing: torn wings, hanging legs, a body spent after too long a day.Same pose. Different body. Tenderness at the wrong scale.The piece sits in a series of classical substitutions — exhaustion as subject, the insect as stand-in for every small life that gave out.
