On the black side of the screen, despair, greed, gluttony, and pride form a closed system. Greed appears as the inability to be satisfied with what one already possesses, gluttony as the excessive consumption of the world, and pride as a narcissistic attempt to turn the body into a sign of power and control. Despair becomes the reverse side of this tension: a state of inner exhaustion that emerges where desire no longer brings satisfaction. The figures exist within a dark, dense space where corporeality becomes grotesque and almost ritualistic. Their bodies do not merely depict weaknesses — they embody and live through them. In this part of the screen, punishment does not come from the outside; it seems to grow out of desire itself, out of the inability to stop, to be satisfied, and to accept one’s own vulnerability. The substance dripping down the screen — whether honey or fat — sets the overall tone for these figures, immersed in vice.
