Dense Caption

Black background with scattered blue and purple pixelated abstract shapes. White pixelated text in a retro digital font reads 'how do all of these cruel lies seem to catch us by surprise?'. The text is arranged in five lines: 'how do', 'all of', 'these cruel', 'lies', 'seem to catch us by surprise?'. The shapes appear to be static with no visible motion changes. The overall style is low-resolution digital art with a nostalgic 1990s computer aesthetic.
