i saw the man

Immersed in the emotional ambiguity of the melody by Patto called "The Man", Zen Dageraad has masterfully materialized the unseen into a visual treat titled with an elusive number, evoking intrigue. The art piece echoes a narrative, sparked by a song seemingly about hidden vices and unspoken social truths, unraveling an enigmatic encounter. The duality of the song finds expression in the dichotomy of two central figures. The protagonist is closer, while the elusive 'man', possibly a symbol for a drug dealer or government, hovers in the backdrop. This clever representation of distance paints a vivid picture of the relationship between them, ambiguous yet profound. Illuminated by two separate lanterns, each character casts a peculiarly colored shadow, enhancing the surrealism and metaphoric depth of the piece. A solitary cloud and a flower make their presence, while an unusual color palette skews perspective, creating an immersive experience that echoes the song's ambiguity and Zen's adoration for it.
