Plights
My current works on canvas are driven by the plights of endangered animals and other living beings.
Living beings are disappearing in large part because of climate change. Climate change is happening at a faster pace than ever, largely due to urbanism. Mass urbanism is possible because of technology. Finally, technology is overloading humanity with information, filtering experiences and removing us further and further away from nature.
Throughout my work, you will find ones and zeroes and clusters of symbols. Computers operate in binary; a numeric system of ones and zeroes storing data and performing calculations. Incorporating binary code which spells words I translated from our alphabet, serves as a reminder of how much computers currently penetrate every aspect of life. The clutter of symbols parallel mnemonics with amnesia; an idea inspired by a universal feeling of information overload, oftentimes resulting in memory lapse.
It seems we are getting disconnected from the very planet that keeps us alive.
Balancing our virtual lives with our experiences in nature will be key.
