My artistic practice centers on narrative-driven world-building that uses recurring motifs to critique and reflect upon contemporary society through the invention of an alternate one. In my current body of work—though still in its early stages—I depict a constructed world inhabited by cylindrical, red-and-white striped forms that symbolize non-human entities, such as artificial intelligence, and the implications these forces hold for humanity. The interplay of dark and whimsical elements within my compositions underscores the tension between the grave and the absurd, revealing the paradoxical nature of the dystopian trajectory I envision—one that mirrors the course of our own world.
