The Falopita
Year: 2021
"The Falopita" a term rooted in Argentine slang for a drug, transcends its literal meaning to embody a digital phenomenon that aggressively stimulates dopamine, addicting viewers with its audiovisual allure. This collection is a daring endeavor to capture the essence of this concept, intertwining a spectrum of colors with the darkness of black humor and candy-like visuals.
At the heart of "The Falopita" lies a character born from the depths of human suffering caused by the unchecked indulgence in online dopamine stimuli. This character, a crystallization of collective consciousness, stands as a testament to the adaptability and resilience of the human spirit in the face of digital inundation.
The Chronicles of Falopita
Each piece in the collection is a bewildering blend of colors, black humor, and an aesthetic that teeters on the edge of the absurd. The art captures the essence of 'falopita'—a term colloquially used in Argentina for drugs, symbolizing something that irresistibly draws one in. Here, it represents content so engaging that it becomes addictive, stimulating a rush akin to a sugar high, yet shrouded in the darkness of excess.
