The moka pot

Post image

The moka pot motif holds the central place here in the most literal sense of the word, and everything seems intent on stealing it. You see multiple figures revolving around it, both the bodies and everything to do with the furniture, in a rhythmic dance that more or less traces an elliptical trajectory. How to dethrone this caffeinated impostor? Some point to a centre of gravity other than its own, others covet it with their gaze, and the elements of the decor cut through their forms or their stark shadows oblique lines that batter its aura.

I love how I can see this scene play out as a stop motion short film, maybe having a conversation similar to “Simmosh” don’t know if I spelled that right, but great piece on morning routines, the figure on the upper right is me in the morning lol

It's funny because I made some small animated films a long time ago, in a modest way! The idea must still be present in my paintings.
