digital and mixed media







Initiated in 2022, this series delves into profound explorations of transience, the ephemeral nature of existence, the echoes of past lives, fleeting captured moments, and the pervasive influence of our heavily mediated society. Narratives are meticulously woven through the deconstruction of multiple images, metaphorically illustrating the detachment of meaning amid the constant barrage of visual stimuli. This approach underscores the challenge of discerning individual elements, disrupting the linear progression of time and the conventional confines of physical space.


The artworks within the collection often evoke a palpable sense of information overload. The deliberate layering of contrasting imagery within the compositions imparts a multidimensional quality, fostering a visual dialogue that transcends traditional boundaries and invites diverse interpretations. Additionally, the incorporation of text and symbols serves to emphasize the linguistic dimension inherent in our media-saturated culture. This nuanced interplay of visual and textual elements further enriches the narrative, encouraging viewers to navigate the intricate tapestry of meaning in the context of our complex, interconnected world.




A significant influence on this series of artworks is Guy Debord’s “Society of the Spectacle,” intertwining with the narrative to guide a critical exploration of consumer culture. The pervasive presence of media, as accentuated by the spectacle, prompts an examination of its consequences on our grasp of reality. Debord’s discourse on alienation and isolation resonates within my art, mirroring the detachment from authentic experiences in our mediated world. The series becomes a visual commentary on the complexities and challenges inherent in our contemporary relationship with media, prompting reflections on its impact on mental health and attention spans.


However, I acknowledge the integral role of the artwork in itself within the framework of the ‘Society of the Spectacle’. Recognizing their inherent complicity, these pieces also contribute to the construction of distorted and deceptive narratives. The art itself becomes a participant in the fabrication of alternate realities, questioning the authenticity of the depicted scenes and prompting contemplation on the broader impact of visual representation within our society. I leave you with that thought!
