The theme and structure of the graphic novel "The Empire of Acceleration" lends itself to all manner of graphic extravagance, including abstraction. The use of symbols to illustrate the various components of this futuristic novel is a challenge I'm particularly interested in, as far as the psychological approach is concerned: -the girdle of a woman and a question mark marble: symbolizing the novel's heroine and her weapon of magical power: the question mark marble. -A Mark question sun: a symbol of the questioning that leads to great success. -question mark and question mark: Is there still a future for the idols of the past? -a clock showing the number 12: climax of an Adventure or Climax if it's midday, or superhero time if it's midnight. -puzzle piece and abstract shape: symbol of the empire of acceleration, which divides and conquers. -A padlock in the sky: an expression of the floating cities of the future, inaccessible to ordinary mortals. -Abstract form and inverted Gran Be: BANKSTER character. -Bowl and abstract form: in the age of acceleration, humanity is drowning in complexity. -Flying gallion: symbol of a new adventure -shells and safes: the high-tech world of the acceleration empire, protected by secret, hermetically sealed algorithms. -A suspended ladybug: is luck still possible in a world dominated by numbers? - A suspended telephone: Humanity is drying up and can no longer make itself heard. -A bird carrying a CD: Music as hope, the one that never leaves me. -banknotes falling from an old telephone dial: Addiction to machines, creating a dictatorship of numbers and turning accelerated life into an El Dorado. - Definition of hanging threads: The world hangs by a thread in the age of acceleration. - Bottom right, a butterfly: Symbolizing the Happy End of this story, The purpose of scripting a painting is to tell stories, but above all to serve the interests of the act of painting.
