Title: Human in the Machine
Artist: Harper Monette
Artwork Description:
This piece explores the intricate relationship between human identity and technological progress.The gears and mechanisms surrounding the figure’s head symbolize how technology dominates our thoughts and consciousness in modern society.
The mechanical elements suggest that humans are becoming increasingly controlled within a digitalized, automated world, confronting the reality that our identities are being reshaped by technology.
The calm, emotionless expression on the figure's face contrasts with the complex activity within, hinting at the overwhelming nature of this internal conflict.
While technological advancements have brought positive change, this artwork serves as a warning of the potential loss of humanity in the process.
It raises the question of how deeply society is influenced by the power of technology and whether we can preserve our humanity within it.
