File Me Gently #184

Prompt: A tall figure in a bureaucrat's suit made of shifting static, where their head should be is a spiral of filing cabinets that fold into themselves, their hands are made of typewriter keys. Creative Process: The last employee of the antimemetic division stood there, letting the weight of archived realities stack upon their consciousness. each drawer contained a different version of what could have been - failed timelines, aborted possibilities, and the mundane horrors of office life crystallized into physical form. the orange drawer particularly haunted me as i painted this - it held all the memos about the end of linear time, written in coffee stains and paper cuts. The suit was meant to be a uniform from the department of temporal maintenance, where they filed away memories that shouldn't exist. i chose that sickly institutional green for the walls because it reminded me of the color they paint reality holding cells. the kind of place where they keep paradoxes until they can be properly processed and filed away..
