About this artwork
Lethargia is according to me reflecting parts of our current western society. Apart from the fact that I am truly content with the freedom,comfort and wealth I life in, I sometimes experience us all living in a facade. This facade can have different appearances. Sometimes the facade is a wall between the rest and us in our great bubble.
Sometimes it is a facade to mask reality as it is. Our modern way of living, consumed by attention, depended on… devices feels kind of empty at times. As zombies focussed on tiny screens, showing off to theworld with million of pictures of your self, having fun, being pretty,being tough, being popular counting in likes. I am ok with the fact that modern tech society is progressing rapidly but I sense that we are overwhelmed by it. We are not in control. We are nolonger attached to here and now but we are floating in lethargia.
