By using literature, physics, my own or found images, I’m trying to convey that we are part of nature, even though in today’s world that seems conflicting. We are surrounded by technology and architecture that insulates us from ourselves, designed to seemingly give us more free time. But often, we become trapped in a never-ending algorithm of not just constant comparisons with other possible worlds, but also in our own, daily routines.
The ideas of our bubble worlds constantly falling into disrepair are transmitted through charcoal and colour drawings by glitches and “mistakes” that appear out of nowhere. Those errors are a window into a different world – for better or worse – by describing this one we all live in – full of faux pas, but also phenomena and wonder.
