Side Quest Romance

Aiming for 100% completion on the map

Main goals have been reached, thrown out the window, or forgotten. You are roaming around the street with no purpose, no drive, or no guide.

On different rare sites are little hidden paths and spots to challenge your priority, your sought out path. This urge of the unknown takes you down the mountain of random paths through the bewildered bushes of forgettable acts of kindness and destruction to leave you further from your first destination only to quicker reach your destination. Fully completing and reaching your paradise has left you wasted and stranded by passengers that took you near and far but never in any direction. You dream of the ocean and you dream of the nature but you are stuck in a simulation without any ending. 

What used to be inviting and exciting has turned limp and pale. The rosy flushed cheeks have turned into a  soggy feverish lump not moving just pumping. The water is rising, the sewers are spewing my leftovers right back at you. The floor is wet, your body boiling, and your temper is fuming. Defeat knocks on your door ready to siege your space and you smell your old self through the creeks in the floorboard. Knocking its head against the basement floor. Somewhere down there you are hidden, buried by what you have pissed out into your mental living room. Bring the crowbar, break the boards open or crack your skull. Life seems to lose life and all feels dull. There is love in a cry for help.

People can expect to see a new sculpture and an existing video work and a few paintings that all resemble the enjoyment of life, but the enjoyment actually leading those things is supposed to give you enjoyment — all the things that are giving you a nice feeling that have turned sour. It's a kind of depressive outlook on things that used to taste good that now taste like shit. The fight to get the lust back for life. The sculpture will act as a reminder that time is running out right in front of you. The name, Side Quest Romance, refers to one of these paths you take instead of your primary path, that ends up leading you around in circles.
