Maxim Bondarenko, Snail, 2026

Oil pastel on black paper

12" x 18"

The shell in the shape of a golden heart. Does it mean if you have one, your next life will be.. I drew it a couple months ago and reworked recently. Since then I can't stop finding more and more symbols! As today - flowers next to Infinity. So red as a wound, but they're Uncultured Carnations. It's easy to guess what their multitude means for the snail sliding eights on the edge of its home touching man's lip with its antennae. That home suits more an Ocean Oyster. Beneath its contemplative atmosphere, the work also has its quiet irony. The snail, traditionally associated with slowness and insignificance, becomes a subtle inversion of the “Butterfly Effect.” The shell opens alternate realities such as man's "new" eye, you may notice it merely as an impression. Rumi-nation. More than anything it reminds me a maze and a Moebius strip. I' amazed, I'm stripped. Who's that guy? Snail's new in-carnation? God's eye? Bad pun - Iconic. That's fun! Phony me! I need more Cones in my art:
Snail
I think God is Language. 
When it's not Time.
When it's not Nonsense,
My anguish
that spilled liquid gold
on that shell
as a bizarre mother pearl.
What the hell!
Didn't you choose your next incarnation,
Little snail
Little bit stuck
In Eternity mode?
Red carnations as every bit aren't senselessly there.
In their defense
They read like a wound.
It feels so
With no bound.
to Explore
God.
God's way is God's 'Why?'.
Language? Yes.
But not as an instrument.
Instrument is
never an actor.
Not is as consummate,
But merely a cause
In between
Of an actor and roles.
What is actually gay in doing a guy?
When even a snail knows:
God is a Giant Euphemism!
What is not God: controls
In the late stages of capitalism
Attempting to buy
More of this God.
To get more Time
to shop in eternity coldness
that's called -
a Choice
To explore
God.
