Decay in Dystopia Part I

Decay In Dystopia Part I is a contemplation of how human beings have fused themselves to technology in a religious manner. The polluted red sky engulfs the meat-church which is lit by those that have been consumed. Between the artificial and the organic, the people in the meat-church find themselves entrenched in the two realms simultaneously. While haunting and iniquitous, the work is inspired by the merging mechanization of entropy and the Anthropocene—melding the worlds that collide with one another.

“Humans need to be more cautious about how they utilize technology because it is a magnificent tool that can have dangerous consequences.”
