A Chronological Exploration of Nature, Technology, and Identity
Over the years, my work has evolved into a distinct style that remains rooted in the core themes of nature, technology, and human identity. Early on, a clear tension existed between organic life and mechanical forms, with vibrant natural landscapes clashing against technological structures. This phase symbolizes the struggle between the natural and artificial worlds, capturing the push and pull of opposing forces. As my work has progressed, these boundaries between nature and technology have blurred, reflecting how the digital age transforms our environment. Hybrid characters—part human, part machine—begin to emerge, representing the evolving human identity in a world increasingly shaped by technology. These figures embody the internalization of technology, where personal identity and ancient archetypes are reimagined through a modern, digital lens. In the later phases of my work, vivid colors and abstract forms intensify, creating surreal environments that are both alluring and unsettling. Neon hues and fragmented visuals invite viewers into a reality where the lines between physical and digital worlds dissolve. This phase highlights the profound impact technology has not only on our environment but on our sense of self. Through recurring symbols and unified themes, my body of work presents a cohesive narrative of transformation, from external conflict to internal metamorphosis, offering a reflection on the ongoing dialogue between nature, technology, and identity.
