and god created sickness, his lover

"If God is willing to vanquish evil, but isn't able to, then he is not omnipotent. If God is able to vanquish evil, but isn't willing to, then he is malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then whereth cometh evil? And if he is neither willing nor able, why call him God?"

For all of us who grew up with religious panic that slowly eroded our faiths in an all-powerful entity in the sky, we learnt to place our religion in something very simple: the people and the memories we love. But what happens when we realize that those Gods too can fall?

This series of twenty visceral pieces and fifty-five exclusive digital artworks meticulously sketched by the author explores the journey from love as hunger to love as consumption to love as corruption, and ultimately, to love as violence. This is not just a book of poetry; it is a visual and emotional experience: of hungry, desperate, broken love. And like all broken love stories, this too has it all: false gods, haunted prayers, and the sickness that they bring.
