The human brain can be related to television or AI as it continuously consumes and analyzes data daily. Memories are stored within our minds, much like the photographs in an album. Certain music can evoke specific moments or memories from our lives, while video games can elicit feelings of happiness and excitement. Many individuals contemplate existential questions of their “realness” within reality and ponder the very nature of reality itself. Some question whether we are merely robots with distinct genetic internal wiring or if we are controlled by a higher power, existing as souls within physical bodies.

  
As time progresses, old traditions and technologies fade, much like the desire for the latest iPhone model. The outdated ones are eventually forgotten and deemed “non-functional,” similar to the natural cycle of human life. There is a fear that one day, everything in our lives will be controlled by a data source and artificial intelligence, resulting in a false reality. Just as we program computers and other electronic devices for specific purposes, we, too, are assigned a purpose and a path. However, true freedom can only be attained by breaking free from this simulation. 

  

Simulated Minds

“Memory Lane” depicts the universal childhood journey of toys, fantasy, and the fun of growing up in that environment. Looking at it takes you back to a universal time of childhood and transports the viewer back to their younger self. But the remembrance that we are all kids on the inside someway or somehow. The photograph displayed on the TV is an album cover from her favorite singer/ electronic artist, ZHU. The baby symbolizes her multicultural heritage and inspired the birth of her creative journey. This art piece is supposed to remind others of the simplicity of childhood and how fast time goes by.

“Into The Void” depicts a world in which the majority are unsatisfied with their lifestyle—a life where progress has become static. Every new generation, the youth, is fueled by the idea of escaping this loop. The ability to shape their reality and make their dreams come true. Presented to those who do not fear being indifferent and are willing to drive themselves to unreachable heights.

"Open Your Eyes” pen and ink collection shows the constant “what if” questions humans ponder. The universe holds a plethora of unanswered questions constantly flowing through human curiosity. All of my art pieces have a meaning, whether I know it or not. I create a piece of work with a story so far ahead in time that I come to the meaning after much reflection or sometimes not at all.

Watch Out 

 “Choose a Path” represents people or yourself going in different directions or paths in life. However, no matter what path you choose you are always being watched by others. A reminder to stay true to yourself and know that no matter where the Universe takes you, it all adds up to a bigger result in the future.

The concept of 777 is the lucky number of wealth and success. Typically seen in slot machines as a jackpot. A gold-plated female figure that you might want to bring to Vegas…

“Unrecoverable wounds” represents the progression and healing of a broken heart. Over time, you realize that it will become easier to cope with hard situations- although the “bullet holes” will never fully be healed. This body of work can be looked at in many ways; everyone has hard times, low energy or vibration, or a lost connection. Agony for extended periods of time in everyone's life that has been covered up by the happy lies of our generation.

“She was colorful, but he was colorblind” portrays the intimate connection between humans and the unrealistic realistic feeling of love. The morphed faces portray two significant others forming a spiritual relationship. The meaning of “she was colorful, but he was colorblind” are broken hearts trying to be fixed. Toxic relationships, no real connection, fake love, meaningless sex, and all the negative sides to relationships that are trying to fill that empty void.

“Male and Female Speed Limit Signs.”Created the body heat from the idea of speed. I believe body heat and feeling have a lot to do with how fast you’re thinking or moving.
