In an age where the past feels both distant and immediately accessible, this work grapples with the emotional tension between longing for a world this generation will never experience and the paradox of living in what is the best time to be alive. The tangibility of memory has never been so crystal clear and readily available; yet, there’s an underlying fear that our relationship with memory itself has become transactional. As we increasingly interact with our histories through digital platforms, there is a growing sense that these interactions are shaped by forces that prioritize consumption and efficiency over genuine connection.
Through my research and practice, I have encountered recurring themes of overconsumption, misinformation, addiction, and the legacy of conflict—issues that have both personal and global relevance. Raised during the Y2K era, and with a father who worked in I.T., I have grown alongside the rapid evolution of the digital landscape. The blending of modern identity with the digital screen has raised critical questions about the boundaries between humanity and the intangible creations we have crafted. These creations—our technologies—are not just tools but integral parts of our sense of self.
My work seeks to confront these concerns head-on. Through a cinematic short-format photo series, I explore my irrational fear of robots while reflecting on broader societal relationships with technology. This body of work serves as an ode to older forms of technology, evoking nostalgia for a time when digital interfaces were simpler, while simultaneously critiquing the developments of newer, more omnipresent technologies.
As I delve into these themes, I ask how our interactions through the screen alter our perception of reality. What does it mean to have a modern identity that exists within, and often solely through, technology? And, in the process, what are we losing in terms of control, identity, and unity? These are the questions I aim to unravel through my exploration of both personal and collective relationships with technology, ultimately seeking a deeper understanding of how we navigate the digital world we are shaping.
