Transhumanism, for me, represents a captivating realm of inquiry. The concept that humans can transcend their present limitations through the integration of advanced technology has consistently fueled my artistic curiosity. It sparks contemplation about what it means to be human, the ethical dilemmas of altering our nature, and the philosophical implications of such transformation.
However, my fascination with transhumanism isn't isolated; it's intimately entwined with my deep appreciation for "Metropolis." This iconic silent film, released in 1927, stands as a testament to Fritz Lang's visionary storytelling and the enduring influence of classic cinema. Its retro-futuristic aesthetic, characterized by towering skyscrapers, intricate machinery, and evocative lighting, continues to captivate and inspire. It serves as both a visual and narrative wellspring for my artistic exploration.
My motivation is to bridge these two worlds—the cutting-edge realm of transhumanism and the timeless allure of "Metropolis." Through my art, I aim to provoke thought and reflection.
In my images, I seek to depict the interplay between past and future, tradition and progress, and humanity and machinery. I invite viewers to contemplate the potential consequences of technological enhancement, the specter of social disparities, and the ever-shifting landscape of our perceptions of the future.
Yet, my pursuit is not solely a philosophical exercise. It's an artistic celebration of the ceaseless human spirit—the drive for progress and self-improvement. It's a reminder that, no matter how advanced we become in the era of transhumanism, the enduring power of cinematic classics like "Metropolis" continues to shape our understanding of the world, our aspirations, and our place within the tapestry of time.
In the melding of transhumanism and the retro-style of "Metropolis," my motivation finds its fullest expression—an invitation for us all to embark on a journey through the corridors of imagination, to question our relationship with technology, and to revel in the timeless allure of visionary artistry that seamlessly bridges the past and the future.
