Art As Slavery

Art as Slavery is a piercing poetry collection that strips away the illusion of glamour in the entertainment industry.From animators chained to their pencils, to designers imprisoned by swatches and fonts, to game developers haunted by bugs, deadlines, and faceless audiences—these thirty poems reveal the unseen cost of creation.Here, tools become overseers. Money, deadlines, and clients speak with cruel voices. Dreams themselves confess their captivity. Yet in the final pages, a voice greater than industry promises remembrance beyond the credits.This is not just poetry. It is testimony. It is lament. It is the cry of artists whose bones have been broken in the making of beauty.
