A vulture drives its beak directly into the globe, piercing the surface until the world itself begins to bleed. This is not an image of aftermath or survival, but of deliberate violation. In Vultured, Mr Phantom presents exploitation as an active force, a conscious act inflicted upon the planet rather than a response to its decline. The bleeding fissure transforms the Earth into a living body, subjected to extraction without consent. The vulture becomes a symbol of systems that feed by causing damage, not waiting for it. The work confronts the viewer with responsibility, asking not who profits from collapse, but who is causing it.
