Dangerosa
This piece offers a compelling commentary on modern society's relationship with technology. The focal point is a luminescent figure engrossed in her mobile phone. Distinctly reflected in her sunglasses is a selfie; instead of her own visage, a devilish countenance stares back. This haunting reflection and her defensive posture behind the glasses evoke a sense of vulnerability and unease.
Drawing a parallel with the myth of Pandora's box, Dangerosa insinuates that today's equivalent of the legendary container of evils might be the ubiquitous smartphone. It holds a myriad of temptations, dangers, and unseen horrors within it, yet its pull is undeniable and often irresistible.
One of the most striking elements of the artwork is the figure's hands. They're vividly red, ethereal, and eerily detached from her body, suggesting a dissolution or perhaps a merging with the digital realm. This piece brilliantly blurs the lines between the physical and virtual, pondering the cost of our contemporary obsessions.
