A cosmic, surreal artwork depicting two glowing pills—one red and one blue—floating in a swirling galaxy. The red pill is surrounded by fiery, chaotic light, while the blue pill is enveloped in calm, structured energy. Both pills are connected by luminous neural-like pathways converging toward a singular bright light at the center. The background features a vivid spiral galaxy, symbolizing the tension between choice, control, and liberation. Inspired by themes from The Matrix and the philosophical exploration of resistance and escape.

A surreal and futuristic illustration depicting the dual forces of deterritorialization and reterritorialization in capitalism. A large mechanical system with intricate, swirling gears dominates the center, symbolizing capitalism. On the left, a vibrant, fluid-like structure breaks free in chaotic, organic shapes, representing deterritorialization. On the right, the fluid is forced into rigid, geometric patterns, illustrating reterritorialization. In the dark, moody background, faint outlines of human figures symbolize captured desires, with glowing neon lines highlighting tension and motion. The image conveys a dystopian yet dynamic aesthetic.
