The Stage of Fabricated Truth

This painting unveils a theatrical portrayal of modern “truth” — a sacred stage performance veiling manipulation and collective delusion. The robed figures represent self-proclaimed prophets, leaders, and influencers who deliver grand speeches not to reveal truth, but to gain applause.

Behind the laughter and flashing cameras lies a deeper horror: beneath the stage, grotesque figures lurk in shadows, pulling the strings of the narrative. The crucifix labeled “TRUTH” is no longer a beacon of integrity, but a hollow set piece for an audience that cheers for spectacle, not sincerity.

Amidst the masks and chaos, a small child sits quietly below — the last vestige of innocence in a world obsessed with illusion.

This piece is a dark allegory for the performative nature of morality, religion, and authority in the digital age.
