ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In this contemporary reinterpretation of Fuseli's "The Nightmare," the demonic figure haunting the scene wears a VR headset, merging ancient fears with contemporary technology. Meanwhile, the woman clutches a smartphone, symbolizing our constant connection to digital distractions even in our most vulnerable moments. This fusion of ancient nightmares with modern technology invites reflection on the evolving nature of fear and our relationship with technology in the digital age.
