The King of Beatbox

31 January - 1 March, 2025.

Solo exhibition at 427 Gallery, Riga, Latvia.

 

A door ajar, a window frosted:
Strange figures gather, drawing near,
Their shadows twisted, bent and crossed,
To sip joy sauce, gone rancid here.

While deep in slumber, toxic-bound,
The horned beast dreams of glory’s sound,
His performance, a miraculous feat,
Where praise and triumph seemed complete:

btt-ktt-tbt-ktt
btt-ktt-tbt-ktt

He wakes from dreams so grand and high

With horns that throb and make him sigh

Last night's substance from hell's dark store

And liquor spilled across the floor

The beatbox rhythm slips away

As courage fades in morning's gray

His insecurities laid bare

Beneath the weight of raw despair
