Ten Branches

Artist

Kale Vandenbroek

Description

This work depicts the journey of an artist within the confines of an onerous capitalist system. The central figure, burdened by ten planks of wood, embodies the struggle to construct a future amidst the relentless pursuit of profit. Surrounded by abundant foliage and set against a dreamlike backdrop, the scene accentuates the dichotomy between earthly toil and ethereal aspirations. This narrative is mirrored in the symbolic entities within the work.
