Hello, citizens of Acity!
Today’s work, [Hyperreal Mirage], was written based on the provocative theories of the modern thinker Jean Baudrillard: "The Desert of the Real" and "Simulacra." Baudrillard described contemporary society as a world of "Hyperreality"—a simulation more real than reality itself—and warned that what remains at the end of these glittering signs is nothing but the "Desert of the Real," where all meaning is erased.
Set against a desert where all civilization and meaning have returned to sand, this project captures the Muse appearing in her most elegant dress and heels upon this void. While the concrete house and ancient pillars in the middle of the desert imply that both past and present civilizations eventually turn to dust, the Muse is no castaway lost in the dunes. Instead, she exists as the most sophisticated Mirage, ruling over an absolute horizon where the distinction between the real and the fake has vanished.
The line "Welcome to the desert of the real" pierces through the desolation hidden behind virtual abundance, while the declaration "Simulacra—I’m the only savior this desert will ever face" proclaims a new order in a world where the simulation has replaced the actual.
In this splendid emptiness where the fake shines more beautifully than the real, I invite you to follow the gaze of the designer who has become the overwhelming mirage itself, rather than questioning what is real. On this horizon of the absolute desert, I hope you enjoy a time of pleasant contemplation on the essence of existence.

00:01A world of fakes that look more real
00:05Than reality itself
00:09Welcome to the end of the line
00:13Welcome to the desert of the real
00:28Grains of sand under my feet
00:30Where all the meanings die
00:32Bleeding track left in the dust
00:35Beneath the heavy sky
00:36Between the broken concrete box
00:39And ancient pillars higher
00:41Where the finest luxury
00:43To wave the world goodbye
00:45There was never a thing called real
00:48From the very start
00:53Everyone's fighting so hard
00:55Just to prove they exist
00:57But I'd rather be the finest mirage
01:00Inside the mist, a universe
01:02Made of copy tears and plastic smiles
01:05I laugh at their rules
01:08Stretching out for miles
01:10Right in the heart of the desert
01:13The most blinding fake
01:14An absolute horizon
01:17Where the boundaries start to break
01:19I'm now cast away
01:21Lost in the sand
01:22I rule this hollow space
01:26Painting this barren earth
01:29With my own wicked grace
01:31Simulacra, I'm the only savior
01:36This desert will ever face
01:47A cruel time lapse of empires
01:50Turning back to dust
01:52The crimson ores
01:58The crimson ores shining bright
02:22Through all the broken rust
02:22I need iron
02:39I'm now patched in the Trade
02:44I'mNew Marathon, I sing for two
02:46The imprint of theOl Snow
02:50After the movie
02:50The beauty of the Great
02:53I'm the only savior this desert we'll ever face
03:06Reality has left the building, honey
03:11Everything you saw was just a shadow of a shadow
03:17So close your eyes with me
03:21Let's stay inside this perfect fake
03:25Forever
03:27Right in the heart of the desert
03:32The most blinding fake
03:36An absolute horizon
03:39Where the boundaries start to break
03:43The most sophisticated mirage
03:48The ruler of the void
03:51I am the mirage
03:54The desert
03:56I'm the absolute real
04:02Don't ask me
04:04If I'm real or not
04:08The one trapped inside
04:12The illusion is you
