"Temptation" draws a parallel between the biblical tale of the first disobedience and our current dance with artificial intelligence. Just as the original sin marked an irreversible awakening of human consciousness, our foray into AI could signify a similar expansion into uncharted cognitive realms. The artwork prompts us to consider the weight of our choices, as we stand on the brink of a digital genesis. It suggests that indulging in the fruits of AI might unlock a new kind of knowledge, but also cautions that this leap could bring unforeseen changes to our understanding of morality and truth, much like the fateful bite in Eden altered the course of humanity forever.
"WE WILL GO GENTLY" This artwork, inspired by my own journey through life's inevitable transformations, vividly captures the essence of confronting change. It's a visual narrative deeply rooted in the shared human experience of facing the unknown.
Beneath the white angels trumpet flowers, the woman stands with a face marked by fear. These flowers, chosen for their deceptive allure, are both intoxicating and poisonous, symbolizing the paradox of change: it can be seductively sweet yet harbors hidden dangers. Their presence in the artwork serves as a metaphor for the beautiful but potentially perilous journey of transformation.
In her arms, the rabbit represents innocence and naivety, poised to be sacrificed in the name of growth. This poignant symbol, coupled with her fearful expression, encapsulates the tension and apprehension that precede a significant life shift.
The title "We will go gently" an inversion of the Dylan Thomas poem about resisting change(death), here there is a thematic inversion as well as a titular inversion.
Rather than "Rage against the dying of the light" The title suggests, to be wary of charging forward into the dark, but instead to tread lightly. This contrasts with the scene's intensity, suggesting a measured, thoughtful approach to the impending changes.
It speaks to the idea of moving forward with a quiet acceptance, balancing the fear of the unknown with a calm resolve. This artwork thus captures the critical moment before change, inviting contemplation on the intricate balance between trepidation and the brave step into the future.
