Familiar Yet Strange.

In this exploration of alienation, I delve into the complex interplay between identity and illusion, evoking a sense of disconnection that resonates deeply in our contemporary experience. The work captures a world that feels both familiar and foreign, mirroring the fragmented nature of modern existence.

Through blurred details and a palette that evokes emptiness, I aim to illustrate the sensation of being unmoored from reality. This phenomenon of alienation not only reflects individual experiences but also challenges the notion of human-centrism, inviting viewers to contemplate the nuances of decentralisation in their own lives.

The dreamlike quality of the piece serves to amplify the feeling of unreality, creating a space where the boundaries between the tangible and the illusory dissolve. In this liminal realm, I invite you to reflect on the shifting connections we have with our environments and ourselves, revealing the haunting beauty of our shared alienation.
