Description

Dry point print in blue ink. This is print 1 of 12. Artist Statement: "My work focuses on the impact of technology on the evolutionary process. I investigates what I call the “disappearing” line between new technological processes and nature. The development of bioengineered organs, tissues, the invention of cyberspace, and the use of algorithms combine to create a virtual space demonstrate how scientific discoveries have become increasingly interconnected within human life. Our subjective perceptions inevitably shape our understanding of life. We are in a certain way changing our evolution." Additional Statement: “The global pandemic made me more aware that even though we function as separate entities, we are all connected and need this connection to function. I believe that “Separazione” (separation) is something that challenges us to find ways to overcome unpredictable situations that life brings to us and gives us an opportunity to grow. Nature is the great teacher that shows us multiple instances where animals lose a part of their body and that part miraculously regrow. In front of life, we cannot surrender because we cannot impede its flow. “Separazione” is a metaphor of life that continues to proceed despite inevitable circumstances.”
