ABOUT
I first got the idea for this painting when I came across the phrase “Homo Sentient” (Latin for “feeling human”) It made me wonder, has being “Homo Sapien” (wise human) lost its meaning in the world we’ve built around screens and machines? Maybe the rise of phrases like this speaks to a collective yearning to protect what makes us truly human: our awareness, our emotions, and our capacity to feel deeply.
Throughout history, from the invention of language to reaching for the stars, humanity has achieved incredible milestones. In this progress, we haven’t only moved forward, we’ve also slipped away from presence, into glowing screens and artificial worlds. This painting reflects the quiet, often unnoticed exchange we make each day. Giving away parts of our humanity in return for the ease technology promises. At its heart, it’s a question of what it truly means to be human.
