Artwork Description and Symbolism
Artificial vs. Natural Matrix: Symbolic Art Exploring Control, Consciousness, and Self-Sovereignty
A Two-Part Digital Collage Series on External Control and Inner Power
Introduction: Two Realities, One Conscious Choice
This two-image pair of digital collage artworks presents a direct and unapologetic contrast between two fundamentally different realities and the timeline split between them:
Artificial Matrix of Lack, Division, and External Control (representing the 3D War Paradigm of Society’s Collective Shadow, and the prison planet, aka Hell on Earth)
The Natural Matrix of Abundance, Unity, and Self-Sovereignty (representing the 5D Consciousness of Heart-Centered Multidimensional Reality, aka Unity/Christ-Consciousness, Non-Dual Awareness, Nirvana, The Way of the Tao, etc., aka New Earth or Heaven on Earth)
Together, these works form a unified philosophical statement—one that examines systems of control, the nature of perception, and the role of individual awareness in shaping reality.
For collectors of symbolic, consciousness-driven, and spiritually provocative artwork, this paired set offers both visual intensity and conceptual depth.
This artwork is dedicated to both the cult classic dystopian film “They Live” and one of my favorite contemporary artists, David Dees, RIP. It also serves as a direct response to my most disliked artist, Shepard Fairey.
Part I: The Artificial Matrix
DISCLAIMER: This artwork and accompanying description are not a personal attack on anyone who does not truly support this system at its core, which we all know is highly corrupt and in need of crucial reform. This social commentary is not about pointing fingers, placing blame, or being judgmental towards any of the indiviual people who make up society collectively. While this subject may be hard for some people to process or downright piss you off, it honestly depicts many systemic, unpleasant truths that lie within the shaddow of our society. These facts, with respect to all, need to be examined, come to terms with, and rectified for personal power to be reclaimed and for societal power to be decentralized and returned to the people.
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." —Jiddu Krishnamurti.
“Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.” —Benjamin Franklin.
“When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” —Thomas Jefferson.
The artwork is a visually intense, densely layered collage. It uses bold text, human figures, animal imagery, and symbolic elements for social commentary. Two seemingly opposing politicians face each other at the center. Large, vibrant rattlesnakes frame them, their tongues flicking toward a central pyramid of corrupt monetary power. The snakes, labeled “CONSUME” and “SURRENDER,” evoke danger, manipulation, and self-abandonment. They underpin the status quo of premeditated societal unworthiness. The all-seeing eye on the US dollar bill appears subversively at the top of the pyramid, yielding power over others. The two politicians, wearing red and blue ties, symbolize the left-right political boxes that trap one’s consciousness in an ideological cult, filled with hatred and division for the other. They also represent the duopoly, false dichotomy, illusion of the Democratic and Republican parties in the US, and the Conservative and Labor parties in the UK, among others.
Never mind the fascist alogarchy of multinational corporations. Politics is a religion—one that’s false. If you want to know who really runs the show, follow the money. This trail inevitably leads to central banks that create money out of nothing, called fiat. These banks convinced society to become indebted to them. They claim the world cannot create wealth without them. Whether physical or digital currency, the fiat process of modern money creation need not be tied to any form of scarcity or tied to servitude to an institution for processing it into tangible use, but rather be created on behalf and for the benefit of each person equally, not for the self-serving interests of the banksters who rule by decree of money creation. A monetary currency is important as a medium of exchange and a marker of wealth, though it is still only a representation. Currency flows as energy from the time and attention one spends, reflecting the value they provide to others and the psychological frequency with which they possess it. True money is an anagram for one eye. It alludes to spiritual currency—time and attention. This relates to one’s third-eye capacity to manifest inner vision and the all-seeing eye, which represents Divine Consciousness. There must be other forms of monetary systems that enable wealth creation to be decentralized and equal to all people on Earth, not just the central banksters, etc. Centralized monetary power, like centralized government authority, is Hell on Earth—not Heavenly.
Behind the two men, a zombie cop with a big red star on his police hat looms ominously, symbolizing the totalitarian police state. This adds a macabre, unsettling undertone, suggesting decay and pervasive societal control. These themes evoke the police state and the death of democracy, if it ever existed or could be truly called that. Officially and literally, America is a republic, not a democracy, and realistically/literally it is a shaddow government oligarchy, with selections masquerading as elections. These two politicians—combined with the text “VOTE DUOPLOY” and “CONTROLLED OPPOSITION”—show that no matter who you vote for, it’s always the same old false-choice deception between these major parties. On the cop's hat is graffiti of a rat sniffing cheese, symbolizing snitches within the system or the rat race of lack.
Around the politicians and zombie cop is an overwhelming array of provocative text. The phrases appear in varying sizes and colors, including "TRUST THE SYSTEM," "WATCH T.V.," "BE FEARFUL," and "OBEY." These words are aggressive and confrontational, implying themes of control, consumerism, and submission. Repeated motifs of sheep near the bottom stress “FOLLOW,” “CONFORM,” and “DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY.” This amplifies the critique of societal conformity and blind obedience. Near the bottom of the image is a thin blue line, in its appropriate context of blind obedience to authority; after all, while the control through money may yield more power, it is the government that has the monopoly on violence. On a side note, the thick red line is about cops who swear to uphold the Constitution, which is worth supporting. Anyway, know the difference. And on another related side note: order following is not a virtue, virtue comes from following one’s own conscience, so the excuse of just doing one’s job is a total copout, pun intended. The same holds true for soldiers who serve in the military, regardless of their misguided intentions. The Military/Military Industrial Complex and its manufactured wars of aggression are nothing short of evil. This is not a personal criticism; the fact is that one cannot advocate personal responsibility for one's own actions to another person or to an institution; the person at direct cause is ultimately the one most responsible for any action taken.
The artwork's composition is dense and chaotic, with overlapping and intersecting elements. This creates tension and urgency. The muted, darker color palette, balanced by sharp reds and whites, adds emotional charge. The collage-like arrangement of text and images feels chaotic but deliberate. The piece evokes a visceral reaction and challenges viewers with uncomfortable truths about power, manipulation, and societal control. The mix of text and imagery delivers a clear, visually arresting socio-political message. The zombified cop and venomous snakes add raw, primal energy, intensifying the impact. The piece balances visual symbolism and verbal provocation, creating a multilayered experience.
For collectors who can clearly see through the illusion of control and refuse to outsource their value, this striking digital collage captures the dense architecture of the Artificial Matrix—built on fear, division, and manufactured scarcity—while standing in direct contrast to its counterpart rooted in unity and self-sovereignty. As one half of a compelling two-image set, this piece exposes the psychological, political, and financial systems that distort perception, making the companion artwork’s message of abundance and inner authority even more profound. Rendered with raw symbolic intensity, this limited-edition political and spiritual art print serves not only as a provocative visual statement but also as a marker of discernment for those who understand the deeper mechanics of consciousness and control. Ideal for serious collectors of symbolic, dystopian, and consciousness-driven artwork, this piece challenges passive narratives while affirming the power of perception, awareness, and personal sovereignty. To fully embody the contrast between illusion and truth, control and freedom, this is the moment to secure this artwork—and complete the pair for its full conceptual and transformative impact.
Accompanying Inspirational Exercise (Artificial Matrix)
The Pattern Interruption Practice
This artwork can serve as a daily anchor for recognizing and interrupting unconscious patterns of external control through a simple practice called the Pattern Interruption.
Once a day—or anytime you feel triggered, reactive, or mentally pulled—pause and ask yourself three questions:
What am I being told to think, feel, or believe right now?
Is this coming from my direct experience, or from external influence (media, authority, fear-based messaging)?
What would I choose to believe if I fully trusted my own perception and value?
Then take one small, conscious action that reflects your answer—whether that’s disengaging from media, questioning a narrative, or simply choosing a calmer, more grounded response.
Over time, this practice builds awareness of the subtle ways influence operates, helping you move from passive consumption to active perception and self-trust. Like the imagery in this piece, it reveals the difference between programmed reaction and conscious choice—returning authority back where it belongs: within you.
