Description

The chaos is total. Between fragments of to-do lists, compulsive doodles and collages of miraculous promises, Prophecy ajournée depicts an inner explosion.
The character, arms spread out, seems to overflow from this mental overload where urban magic and chronic procrastination mix.

The marabouts’ ads promise to solve all problems — speed, efficiency, guarantee — but here everything is suspended, unfinished. The draft vortex engulfs every good resolution.

Free or drown?
