The Prospects was intended to be an exercise of looking ahead upon standing on the platform of reflections of the past. After going through my notes of the year and assessing my progress towards a goal, I saw a very unclear future for myself. The more I get closer, the more it appears nebulous and unsure.

I found myself in a position where I couldn’t look ahead because the sight of the future was all too menacing for me, which is why the main character looks away from the activities that take place in front of him. This piece gave rise to my anxiety of an undetermined future that wasn’t really determined in the first place; it was that realization that caused this frenzy of symbolic images.

The very unsure factor is what causes the insecurities that resulted in the forms of the charlatan, the falling babies and the half promise the flowers provided. I was victim to uncertainty which caused my pessimistic state of madness which were manifested in my work. The sensation was absurd and it had to come out of me, that strange ambiguous, uncertain, sensation that I was victim to was the Enigma of Predication.
