Description
Art has always been a mirror of society, capturing the spirit of its time. What We’ve Become takes this idea further, blending past and present to highlight a stark truth: we are drifting further from nature, deeper into digital isolation.
This collection reimagines paintings from 200 to 300 years ago, subtly weaving in modern elements—technology, urban sprawl, screens, or symbols of digital life. The contrast is jarring yet seamless, making it feel as though these intrusions were always there, lurking beneath the surface of history. The result is a thought-provoking visual dialogue between past and present, forcing the viewer to question where we stand today.
In a world that once thrived on a deep connection with nature, human relationships, and craftsmanship, we now find ourselves tethered to screens, disconnected from the organic rhythms of life. The serene landscapes and intimate human moments of classical paintings serve as a reminder of what once was. But in What We’ve Become, something is always “off.” The beauty of this collection lies in its subtlety. These modifications are not loud or exaggerated; they blend into the artwork just enough to feel unsettling, just enough to make the viewer pause and reflect. The effect is similar to walking through a museum and suddenly noticing something that shouldn’t be there—something eerily familiar yet completely out of place.
At its core, What We’ve Become is not just about nostalgia or critique. It’s a conversation. It asks:
- Have we truly advanced, or have we merely exchanged one set of constraints for another?
- Are we more connected than ever, or have we lost something deeper?
- If the great artists of the past could see us now, what would they paint?
What We’ve Become is for those who see beyond the surface, who question the direction of modern life, and who appreciate art that challenges as much as it captivates. It is a call to reflection, an invitation to look closer at the world we have built.
In an age where everything is instant, disposable, and digital, this collection stands as a physical, lasting testament to the question: What have we truly become?
