The Great Collapse
The Great Collapse
The Great Collapse
Self-portrait; The beautiful, yet deceiving, sunset directly contrasts with the deserted landscape. It creates a false sense of idyll, when in reality human life without gas masks is not possible anymore.
From my series "Evolution Alpha - Omega"
THIS SERIES ADDRESSES THE HUMAN IMPACT ON MOTHER NATURE AND EXPLORES THE IDEA OF A HUMAN APOCALYPSE. ALPHA REPRESENTS NATURE, WHEREAS OMEGA SYMBOLIZES ‘THE END’, RESPECTIVELY DESTRUCTION (THROUGH HUMANS). THE VIEWER IS CONFRONTED WITH A DYSTOPIAN VISION OF THE POSSIBLY NEAR FUTURE AND TRANSPORTED INTO A WORLD THAT IS THE RESULT OF WAR, POLLUTION AND A WASTEFUL USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES. THE SERIES EXPLORES POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF HUMAN-CAUSED DESTRUCTION, DRIVEN BY GREED AND AN EXCESSIVE DESIRE TO ACCUMULATE MATERIAL GOODS AND WEALTH. THROUGH MY PAINTINGS, I STRIVE TO PROVOKE A CHANGE OF THINKING AND TO INVITE THE VIEWER TO RECONSIDER HOW OUR ACTIONS AFFECT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.
