The whole purpose of this work is to convey the short story of the commodity, the dialectic of capital that dominates the ages is not only visible, it is constantly reproduced and presented. The silhouette of Marx, the revealer of dialectical materialism, combined the founding father of the state, which was built with the aim of opening a new space for human beings, with the freedoms peculiar to human values ​​declared by its founders that its establishment is not a myth throughout history, in order to reveal identical aim of revolutionary materialism in the context of the welfare of society. Free capital (Laissez-Faire), just like collectivist understandings, works for human welfare and dreams of a happy society. But what we finally get is the constant exposure to a commodity advertisement in the hands of the mythical mind. The aim of this painting is to reveal the consciousness that exposes the commodity in the reality of life to a constant transformation. Man cannot escape from myth, the struggle to slaughter an ox will turn into sacred stories, sticks into snakes, Nile into blood, tribal chiefs into Gods, societies into nations, thinkers into founding fathers and products into brands. Man's experiences of transition from myths to reality lead to new paradigms and even more intense myths. Today, we call these myths that crystallized and appear before our eyes as advertising, digital world or simulacrum.
