Mutation (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Mutation
He looked at his display. A single body in front of two other bodies, rectangular as the display in the hand. Narcissus alone on a wide meadow. An image of indifference. Narcissus loved his reflection so much that everything that surrounded him became indifferent. That's why he had to die.
The narcissist of today also lives in isolation, a void that boredom always holds. In his self-love, he does not realize that he is losing his face and becoming more and more like his formatted and standardized environment. That, however, seems to him to be indifferent. He does not look at her anymore.
