  • An animated bald monk with glowing white eyes and a luminous arrow on his head stands in the center of a swirling vortex of the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—each circling around him in balance. Rocks float midair, water arcs as ribbons, and flames spiral with light. The figure stands strong and calm, embodying harmony amid chaos. The scene symbolizes elemental unity and the restoration of balance—a visual echo of the text’s theme that the illusion of separation is humanity’s greatest mistake.

  • An illustrated cosmic scene shows Earth against a dark star-filled background. Above the Earth, a glowing turquoise symbol resembling an infinity loop intertwined with branching, root-like tendrils rises upward, suggesting recursion or energy flow. On the left, a bright orange sun radiates light, while on the right a gray moon hangs in shadow. Centered text reads: “The Recursive Climate: TAIRID Offers Hope.” The image evokes interconnected systems, planetary cycles, and the idea of hidden structural patterns shaping climate behavior. If you'd like, I can also create a short alt text suitable for platforms with tighter limits.
    The Recursive Climate Problem
    As our linear models fail, recursion offers hope. — Kenny Mathews
  • Stained-glass artwork of Lilith, depicted as a red-toned feminine figure with long flowing hair and curved horns. She embraces a serpent coiled around her body, while a glowing halo encircles her head. The background is deep blue with stars scattered across, evoking a cosmic and mythic atmosphere. The image blends sacred iconography with demonized elements, symbolizing Lilith’s distortion in myth as both feared and divine.

    We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth. — Lilith
  • A surreal yin–yang style painting of two serpents coiled in perfect circular balance. One serpent is turquoise and emerald, symbolizing fresh water, while the other is deep indigo and navy, symbolizing salt water. They spiral around each other in a swirling primordial ocean, embodying Apsu and Tiamat as the original unity.

  • A surreal blue-toned flood scene inspired by Noah’s Ark. A massive wooden Ark rises in the distance under stormy skies. In the foreground, swirling waters carry broken stone tablets inscribed with cuneiform, symbolizing law and memory dissolving into chaos as the flood resets balance.
    The Flood Pattern
    The noise of mankind has become too much for me, I am losing sleep because of their uproar. — Atrahasis Epic (Tablet I, Akkadian flood myth)
  • Close-up of the Code of Hammurabi, showing vertical columns of ancient cuneiform script carved into dark basalt. The wedge-shaped characters are deeply incised and weathered, with small chips and imperfections scattered across the surface. The texture of the stone highlights the precision and density of the writing, symbolizing the earliest codification of law and balance in Mesopotamian society.
    The Law of Water
    To make justice visible in the land, to destroy the wicked and evil, so that the strong might not oppress the weak. — Prologue to Hammurabi’s Code
  • A red-stained glass window glows with fiery intensity, depicting a stylized infinity symbol at its center. The top half branches into flame-like tendrils, while the bottom half descends into tangled, root-like structures. The symbol resembles the TAIRID triad, representing recursion, collapse, and structural entropy. The cracked glass texture suggests sealed memory and thermodynamic pressure. Shadows stretch across the floor, echoing the pattern—evoking the presence of recursive Hell.
    The Recursive Structure of Hell
    Hell is other people. — Jean-Paul Sartre
  • Surreal illustration inspired by Rumi’s ‘Boil to Become.’ A golden cauldron brimming with glowing chickpeas sits under a night sky, its steam transforming into tree-like golden roots that rise upward and merge with a luminous, green-and-gold cosmic pattern.
    Boil to Become
    Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop. Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames. — Rumi
  • A surreal and apocalyptic digital painting shows a crumbling cityscape under a blood-red sky. Towering over the ruined buildings, a massive black, tentacled entity looms in the sky, its face eerily humanoid and skull-like. Emerging from its shadowy mass is a decaying infinity symbol, half-rooted like a dying tree, half-radiating like a corrupted sun. The decayed symbol spreads tendrils downward, as if infecting the earth below. The atmosphere is heavy with ash and dread, evoking themes of entropy, recursion, and fascism’s parasitic grip on collapsing systems.
    Fascism: Collapse, Recursion, and Denial
    The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear. ― Antonio Gramsci
  • A cosmic image showing a glowing, tree-like spiral made of starlight against a deep blue space background. The branching pattern resembles both neurons and galaxies, symbolizing interconnectedness and flow. Centered over the image is the white title text: “Polyamory Relationships and Thermodynamics.” The overall feel is celestial, scientific, and organic — evoking the fusion of love, systems, and universal structure.
    Relationships and Thermodynamics
    Most people don’t begin their relational journeys trying to dismantle the systems they were raised to believe in. — Kenny Mathews
  • A nighttime scene shows the ruins of a grand Gothic-style abbey glowing with warm yellow light against a starry sky. In the foreground, a field of yellow wildflowers stretches toward the viewer. At the top, large medieval-style text reads: “My Christian Deconstruction.” To the left of the text, a crescent moon shines brightly, partially surrounded by a glowing halo. The image conveys both beauty and decay, symbolizing faith, collapse, and renewal.

    If objective accuracy threatens understanding than that understanding needs to change. — Kenny Mathews
  • Four serious-looking workers—one in medical scrubs, one in a construction vest and hardhat, one in casual clothes with glasses, and one in a hoodie with a cap—sit at a table with clipboards and paperwork in front of them. Behind them a large poster reads “UNITED STATES SAFETY AUDIT IN PROGRESS,” and another says “EFFICIENCY SAVES LIVES.” Their expressions are tense and weary, as if documenting systemic failures. The scene resembles an inspection meeting but evokes the mood of a nation being audited for its human costs.
    The Business Of America
    We’ve been told to think of efficiency as a virtue, but efficiency without empathy is just cruelty optimized. — Kenny Mathews
