Man, Machine &
Mother Nature
A series examining tensions between humans, technology and nature.
No Flowers in an Asphalt Garden
Acrylic on canvas (60x60cm)
2026
This work explores the fragile coexistence of nature and human progress. The backdrop is a barren landscape stained in the deep, fiery red of anger, grief, and exhaustion of an environment stripped of life. A lone butterfly drifts on a desperate journey across endless asphalt, searching for blooms and greenery that no longer exist.
The weathered, disintegrating crosswalk acts as a stark symbol of the paths humanity has laid down. It points firmly toward one direction, yet the butterfly travels the opposite way - maybe in a quiet act of resistance, or merely the final impulse of a living creature searching for solace in a world that no longer nourishes it. The tarmac itself is cracked and crumbling, as if the earth beneath is slowly trying to reclaim its territory, pushing back against the rigid, inorganic surface that covers it.
At its core, the painting rests on a bleak duality: the cold, heavy permanence of man‑made infrastructure, and the delicate, fleeting beauty of the natural world. What becomes of the world when we replace living landscapes with lifeless ones - is nature’s quiet resilience enough to endure?

Saviour Machine
Acrylic on canvas (40x60cm)
2026
‘Saviour Machine’ is inspired by the David Bowie song of the same name and portrays an AI cyborg which was created to save the world. Although its flawless logic succeeds in ending wars, that same cold rationality ultimately turns it against humanity, leading it to despise the very people it was built to protect.
“Don't let me stay,
Don't let me stay,
My logic says burn so send me away.
Your minds are too green,
I despise all I've seen,
You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine”.

More than Binary - Code for Human
Acrylic on canvas (60x60cm)
2026
This piece explores the idea that DNA is a form of code, and asks how fundamentally different is it from the digital code humanity creates?
The figure occupies a space between human and machine, its features glitching and fragmenting into streams of binary, suggesting both a technological and existential transformation. The DNA-like patterns woven from ones and zeros reinforce the parallel between genetic information and computer programming, blurring the boundary between organic evolution and artificial construction.
Is a being that is created from synthetic code any less authentic than one shaped by DNA? If consciousness and identity emerge from encoded information, does the medium of that code matter?
The piece examines artificial intelligence’s growing influence on humans. As technology becomes more deeply embedded in our lives, our very existence is increasingly shaped by systems we created.
Ultimately the work asks where the line between human and machine lies, and at what point we lose ourselves in the glitch.
