Más Notícias (Bad News)

Más Notícias (Bad News) was initially inspired by the belief "when your left ear is 'burning', it means that someone is talking something bad about you", so I started to research symbols that could reforce the idea.

-The Angel: my family has a way of think that is "your guardian angel is always talking to you", so thinking about that I thought it will be fun have a little friend gossiping with you
-The "Espada-de-São-Jorge" plant: the general meaning of this plant is "protection"
-The Snake: is the general meaning but with a south american one
-The Vase: in Brazil we have this line "vaso ruim não quebra", wich kinda stands for "bad people don't go/die easy". On this drawing I went literal to show that whatever the angel is saying to her its pretty bad.
-The "Carranca" sticker: this symbol also meaning is protection, but this time against evil spirits. As you can see at the last detail picture, he is "screaming" at the broken parts of the vase at a attempt to move away the bad energy.

So at the end, the meaning became way more subjective that I expected

*A reminder, this piece was based on general beliefs common in Brazil and on personal/familiar ones too, so is natural have some misunderstandings.*
