This painting captures the essence of modern times through its striking use of color and form. The grayscale background with white spots and bold black brushstrokes create a sense of depth and complexity, representing the overwhelming nature of contemporary life. The scribbles in the form of handwriting further emphasize this theme, adding an element of chaos and confusion. The four human-shaped figures standing back-to-back symbolize the isolation and detachment that can often be felt in our digital age. Two of the figures are black, while the other two are pink, contrasting with the grayscale background and representing the duality of our modern existence. Modern Times is a thought-provoking and introspective piece that invites the viewer to reflect on the complexities of our modern world.

Like Charlie Chaplin's 'Modern Times'... An unconditional workforce from the Industrial Revolution to the present. The disconnection between industry and people, the break between people and nature, and the destruction of both by industry. An unquestioned authority and lives revolving around like lab rats. In my works, isolated individuals and a vanishing world dominate. Unfortunately, the world I oppose in my works is also the world I exist in; it reflects my anxieties, my unhappiness, my loneliness and the emptiness I receive in return for unlimited effort. There is a resonance with Spinoza's concept of Conatus, with the discovery of isolated individuals, the disappearance of the world, and the emptiness of constant work. Just as Spinoza suggests that there is an inner existence and striving for well-being in all beings, the disconnection and dehumanization depicted in the work echoes the consequences of a world driven only by industrial forces. The struggle for existence at the individual and collective level is integrated in the web of social structures and power dynamics. My work highlights the need to reflect on the impact of this disconnection on the human psyche and to regain and nurture a fundamental drive for connection, well-being, and harmony with nature.
