Complex yet primordial emotions such as terror, anxiety, nostalgia are constantly triggered by that “hose to the face” of information that is the Internet. Intangible and virtual tropes are more and more in control of our physical and primitive bodies. As humans, we use our ancestral emotive system -evolved to achieve specific and limited survival scopes- to interact with structures that overwhelm it in terms of scale and extent.
This series is a speculation into how to convey the most intense emotional response through the least amount of hyperrealistic and/or figurative information - testing our innate, animalistic push towards recognition.
Shiny, multiple, perfect abstract shapes overwhelm and engulf small pieces of flesh, which end up acting as beacons, or signals, for intuition and empathy. This dychotomy of virtual vs real is a reflection into Social Media as glamourized dystopia, and into how animals and humans reflect their identity onto their own bodies.
