{"name":"Impasse at the End of Fantasy","description":"The scene depicts an irreconcilable impasse between two lovers occupying separate positions. Each position reflects a particular tendency caught up in a unique (yet familiar) expression of a gendered logic. The feminine subject watches from a short distance as the masculine figure walks away, chained to a baby and expunging smoke from their head. The baby reaches up toward the feminine subject in a desire for maternal comfort, as the feminine subject pays no attention to it. In psychoanalysis, when an intimate relationship ends an unconscious fantasy possibly also comes to an end. In one expression, as the relationship reaches its conclusion, the masculine subject is infantilized and fettered by the leftover experience of being like a baby to their lover. Whereas the feminine subject initially identifies with, and even accepts the authority of maternal care, only for it to in excess become ambivalent repulsion by its rigid unevenness, signaling the end of fantasy.  \n\nThe work was entirely created in 3D, using fluid simulation to produce the smoke volumes as well as hair simulation for the feminine subject.","image":"ipfs://QmV8Aiaf9aZQoMFWoHMv32gBaeBo3H9xZZ2YcQr2bEQcDj","external_url":"https://www.1stdibs.com/nft/art/impasse-at-end-fantasy/id-n_4vDaFuCRIg/","animation_url":null,"created_year":"2019","attributes":[{"trait_type":"edition","value":"1/1"},{"trait_type":"medium","value":"3D"},{"trait_type":"year created","value":"2019"},{"trait_type":"category","value":"art"},{"trait_type":"artist","value":"Yebu-Tonu"}],"media":{"url":"ipfs://QmV8Aiaf9aZQoMFWoHMv32gBaeBo3H9xZZ2YcQr2bEQcDj","web_url":"https://a.1stdibscdn.com/dist/nft/yebutonu/impasseattheendoffantasy.png","poster_frame_url":null,"mime_type":"image/png","dimensions":"4000x2666","duration":null,"video_thumb":null}}
