In a world where art was once a quiet dialogue between the artist and the observer, something has changed.
In a world consumed by digital screens, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the click of a button and the rush to document moments, our presence begins to fade. Blinded is a reflection on this paradox the urgency to capture what we see versus the inability to truly analyze or experience it.
This piece juxtaposes fragments of photographs and printed text, tangled in a web of black silk and metallic threads. The choice of materials: threads and knit work. Symbolizes the fragile connections we maintain through the digital “web.” They mimic the structure of relationships, threads binding one image to another, yet leaving voids in between a metaphor for the gaps in understanding and the hollowness we often feel despite constant connectivity.
Black acrylic paint splashes and details evoke a sense of loss and emptiness. It represents the growing void between our physical reality and the virtual spaces we inhabit, where the chaos of overstimulation drowns the beauty of simplicity.
This piece challenges viewers to question their presence. Are they truly living the moment, or just chasing fragments to fill a void? The distorted visuals and intricate entanglements invite introspection: to see, feel, and connect beyond the superficial layers of our screens.
Blinded captures the discomfort of a world both intricately connected and profoundly isolated, encouraging us to untangle the threads of modern life and rediscover what it means to truly be present.
