My work explores machine aesthetics through paintings and new media interactive art, focusing on the social impact of mechanization and urbanization. I depict surreal vehicles and futuristic machines floating in infinite spaces above decaying urban landscapes, symbolizing an uncertain future. Fascinated by science and technology, I examine the evolving relationship between humans and machines. By placing outdated mechanical forms in surreal contexts, I give them individuality and personality. Influenced by avant-garde practices, I use machines as metaphors to reflect cultural transformation. Small human figures represent varied mindsets, challenging conformity and encouraging limitless thinking, questioning, and new possibilities
