Radioactive Intervention
The surrealist nature of this thought-provoking image by Robert Maddox-Harle digs deep into the subconscious. First glance, a transformed Mona Lisa, an abandoned factory, Saturn replaces the moon, and the card of death. Questions come to mind: has the last nuclear siren been silenced, no more bombs left to drop, has humanity adapted to extreme radiation? Entropy, rust, abandonment, the cosmos out of place, Mother pulls the tarot. Robert’s image forewarns our future, and subtlety reveals hope. The pulled card represents endings and beginnings. We can choose to spiral up or down, rebirth is possible. The arrival of Saturn heralds a shift in thinking, a guide for mankind.

Pulling the Next Card
knowing or not
glancing looks
minds completely blown away
resolving karmic bonds
six becomes seven
water draining
rings around the tub
aquifers fill slowly
a collaboration of rust
the silent nuclear horn
shortcomings revealed
the midwife arrives
