IONA APPLES II/V // FIRST WAVE 2021 EDITION

This is way too real to be virtual. Looking through my open balcony doors, down on the square, I see a wave of water that slowly engulfs the surface. I look back at the body that is still asleep at my futon. What a heat. The weather is moist and hot. My sweat bites down my naked body. As I look down the road I see that the water is covering about three centimeters of the surface all around. What the… Where did this come from? Maybe, I changed the settings for my simulation while being drunk last night. Something like,” yup, guess how my world would look like covered in water”. We should go fishing. Him and me. I wonder why he is still wearing his stimulation suit, and glasses, it always feels so stupid having that stuff on in a simulation. “For god's sake take that equipment of”. I wake him up. I can feel that he wants me. We laugh, and I take his glasses and suite of. It's like pealing of a second layer of skin. Sticky it is. He just laughs and grabs me by the elbow. “Common love, come down to me, let's stay in bed all day”. What the hell did we do last night? Why does he have his suite on in this simulation? Oh shit, this feels good. This feels so fucking good. I don’t remember anything of what happened last night, and this man, who is he? Shit, It feels good. I look down at him, and while embracing the feeling of bodily delight I imagine the small wave outside the block as an ocean pumping into my body and dissolving my entire being in one big splash. // The artwork was created in GANBREEDER (www.ganbreeder.app) and edited in photoshop in 2019 and remastered in 2021, the text is from 2019 (rewritten in 2021) written by Iona Apples, the image is under Creative Commons CCO go to https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ for reference.
