OATH OF THE DARK FOREST Friends, give me the courage, to change the many things I can. The grace to accept What will, or will not. What may, or may not. And the wisdom to grow, irrespective of the inherent uncertainty.

Carlos Kage stands in the middle of Eagle Rock Blvd.

SUPLEX (2025) acrylic on canvas (12 x 12)

A collage like acryclic paints. Text, objects, and abstract shapes layer over one another.

Predominantly a vibrant pink, with a green background. Repeating circles fill the empty areas.

Text includes "LESSER OF TWO EVILS." "FIRM DECREE" "HUMAN"

A figure stands on its hands with a zero skateboard flying above. The figure's chest is missing and its heart is on the floor helping to hold the body upright.

A tiered cake featues prominently in the center with a pile of books around the base and knives stuck into the top tiers. The cake says "LET THEM"

Blood drips from top bottom of the piece.
