Melting Darks, 2018

 

This work is a part of an ongoing exploration into the interplay between the fluidity of intangible elements and our perceptions of time and space. It encapsulates the paradoxical nature of 'energy' - a substance that straddles the realms of science and spirituality, challenging traditional ontological discussions. The materials employed, dark oil and radiant light, symbolize the pivotal role played by the technological machinery of our industrial society - a gigantic extension of ourselves; expanding through space and whose effect can last in time, exceed human life, generations, and even the human species itself.
