"The composition of this work is deliberately made dense; there is no single object, unlike in the traditional still life.
I am not abandoning the still life, but rather expanding it, where a still life typically speaks of objects arranged upon a table. Here, the table remains, but it has now become a metaphor for a place where the entire world meets.
I view the way the contemporary world operates not as a tidy system, but as a stack of various coexisting layers of history, technology, ecology, mythology, and media. It is like the entire surface of the canvas is filled with colliding fragments.
The machine serves as a metaphor for a fractured world. What is fractured is the system of relationships, the connection between human and nature, body and technology, spirituality and industry, tradition and modernity.
This aligns closely with the idea that technology has become part of the metabolism of daily life. We no longer live alongside machines; we live through them."
