A love letter from Joan
Darling,
If Freud had a Cadillac and Dali an ice cream cone, they might have crashed into each other in my subconscious and birthed this strange lovechild: Car Cemetery. What can I say? I’ve always had a thing for chrome, climate collapse, and double scoops of existential dread.
This piece is my valentine to lost Americana—when gas was cheap, nails were red, and optimism melted faster than a sundae in July. Nestled in this jungle of capitalism and vegetation, the ‘57 Plymouth Belvedere doesn’t just purr, darling—it pines. For what, I don’t know. Clean air? Better decisions?
But don’t be fooled by the sorbet. It’s a Trojan horse, sweetly delivering a warning. Drive carefully. We’re all passengers now.
Love,
Joan
Car Cemetery by Joan Seed is a surrealist mash-up of 1960s muscle car nostalgia and botanical overgrowth, wrapped in dark humor and environmental satire. A bold visual narrative perfect for collectors of retro futurism, climate change art, and symbolic surrealist statements. This museum-grade giclée print is available in large statement sizes, designed to stop viewers mid-scroll—or mid-apocalypse.
Ideal for interior designers, symbolic art collectors, and gallery curators seeking bold, provocative artwork that speaks volumes.
