Bite of Reality

Description

This apple isn’t meant to be eaten. It’s meant to be questioned, remembered. It’s the temptation of the 21st century — and this time, the serpent is content.

You look at it — red, glossy, perfect. Like something filtered for Instagram. But someone has already taken a bite. And in that bite lies the whole world: headlines, blurry faces, scandals, likes, and logos — chewed up and recycled.

This is no fruit of Eden — it’s the fruit of your newsfeed.

“The whole world is still surreal,” whispers a scrap of text.

Now, the surrealism comes from TikTok and algorithms, not Dalí.

Each fragment is a flash: protest, fashion, politics, apathy. We call it “information.” But the artist shows the truth: we’re not consuming — we’re being consumed. Reality gnaws at us under the mask of the everyday.

A hand from an old ad reaches for something — but what? No answer. Just endless scrolling.

Beneath the skin of this apple lies emptiness and noise. Surface beauty hides a hollow core. The bite of knowledge feels like the bite of exhaustion.

But this isn’t surrender — it’s resistance.

The artist turns what breaks us into art.

You look — and you can’t unsee it.

You can’t scroll past.

That’s what art does.

It works.
