My work explores the intersection of digital culture and traditional art, reflecting on the transient and fragmented nature of contemporary existence. Rooted in vanitas painting traditions, I examine how digital imagery reshapes our perception of time, value, and mortality. By translating ephemeral digital fragments into the permanence of paint on canvas, I capture the tension between the instantaneity of online culture and the slower, material presence of painting.

I integrate visual elements sourced from digital screens—advertisements, UI fragments, and internet ephemera—into compositions that recall classical vanitas paintings. These paintings, historically filled with symbols of impermanence, now find their counterparts in the fleeting, endlessly circulating imagery of the digital world. Flowers, long associated with beauty and decay, take on new meaning in an era where digital representations often outlast their physical counterparts. Their presence in my work is less about their traditional symbolism and more about their function as a vehicle for exploring contemporary visual culture—how images are consumed, reinterpreted, and circulated across different media.

Rather than critiquing digital culture, my work highlights its pervasive yet elusive nature. The layered compositions reflect a world where images are continuously decontextualized and repurposed, forming an evolving archive of collective memory and aesthetic detritus. By inviting viewers to navigate these visual layers, I hope to provoke reflection on how the act of looking—whether through a screen or at a painting—shapes our understanding of reality.
