When it comes to the human race and technology, there is a natural divide between the two. However, I see it in a slightly different way as a balance between them. In my artwork, I represent both sides in abstract ways using various materials. For the human side, I use materials such as napkins, a sock, my arm, a paint roller, and other miscellaneous objects to describe the inherit chaotic nature of humanity. The technological side uses more rigid materials such as office supplies, coat hangers, and simple objects that leave distinctive lines behind. As for the meaning of the artwork, while it’s presented in an abstract form, shows that the two sides need each other as one wouldn’t exist without the other. The chaotic nature of humans, gives way to the structured, more rigid forms of technology. This creates a slight harmony between the two, even though they are different from one another.

A balance between the chaotic side of humans and the rigid, structured side of technology. Uses many different materials to show the meaning and symbolism of the artwork. Black paint as the main medium of use, with various other materials used to provide the abstract nature of the art.
