THE SECOND HORIZON

This painting exhibition questions what it means to be human when biology, technology, and artificial intelligence merge, forming new spaces with hybrid beings. The artworks explore the transformation of humanity in the face of oppression, hyper surveillance, and loss of privacy in digital totalitarian states. They also delve into Transhumanism and its pursuit of immortality through cybernetic expansion and consciousness uploading. I often ask myself: If memories, thoughts and actions can be transferred into data, what will that reading format be like? Will memories be translated into images? How will we distinguish real memories from imagined ones? In my paintings, I reinterpret the body as a site of mutation, expansion, and decay, reflecting themes of identity, control, and transformation in the face of a speculative dystopian future.

As we stand on the brink of a technological singularity, the traditional human figure dissolves into something unknown, part flesh, part machine, part digital residue. "The Second Horizon" invites us to imagine a future where organic life is no longer the defining characteristic of humanity. The works in this exhibition question whether the post-human form represents evolution or extinction. The result is an unsettling collection that challenges the boundaries between the real and the artificial, the biological and the synthetic.
