My work is about the human condition and specifically about loneliness and melancholy. Who or what is the subject of that loneliness? While I believe in most art as stemming from yourself, from within and somewhat autobiographical, I am confident that I am commenting on people and humanity as a whole. Loneliness is an inevitable trait of the human condition. I feel there is the search for meaning amongst the isolation and emptiness of the universe that cannot be fulfilled. Everybody can be lonely and inaccessible. Everyone has walls built up around them. This is perhaps more and more true the further technologically advanced we become, relying more on technology and social media for interaction with each other. Through the internet, people can now create alternate ideals of themselves online via real time video games, Facebook, twitter, email, etc. Individuals are putting another protective layer up between them and the real world, creating a buffer, preventing access to them, and what is lost is that face-to-face interaction. |
