Sin Cerebro (Without a Brain)

[quintessentone]

This sculpture, Sin Cerebro (Without a Brain), is my first completed sculpture in Mexico.


 
It is a surrealist sculpture describing a person unable and unwilling to see truth in anything, because they’ve been brainwashed into a lie.  Regardless of facts or evidence of a matter, these people are incapable of seeing truth. They absolutely will resist any idea beyond the propaganda they willingly expose themselves to on a daily basis.  I see it as willful ignorance, to be honest, and it is going to kill even more people than it already has since 2020.


 
The form of the sculpture is a surrealist analogy. I’m describing a story about telling someone that their hair is on fire. And yes, that maybe true, however, because of the propaganda they have been exposed to and brainwashed by, that their hair is not on fire, they are prevented from realising the truth, and that is that their hair is actually on fire. They are Sin Cerebro.
 
Secondly, I’m using a medical looking mask to serve as the perfect demonstration of the willingness to obey propaganda. And I’m doing that because masks were never about protection from anything. They were singularly about conforming to fascist totalitarian diktats and propaganda. And those that followed and are still following along, they are Sin Cerebro.


 
Enjoy.

It has been said that a good/great piece of art is one which provokes thought or emotion. With your piece, it provokes thought for me.

Although I disagree with your take on whether or not masks prevent transmission of illnesses, the title you chose sort of does not make any sense, in that, the choice to wear or not to wear a mask requires a brain to have a belief system to follow, therefore the brainwashed subject would have a brain and be following their belief system - so the mask would be over their mouth or there would be no mask at all.
