"My work draws from the timeless allegory of the cave to explore the tension between reality and the illusions created by technology. Blue light radiates from the modern "digital fire," casting shadows that define our perceptions. Conditioned by these projections, we often accept them as the entirety of reality. The natural light of the sun—once a symbol of truth and clarity—has faded, supplanted by an augmented artificial reality.

Through the metaphor of the black mirror, my work invites reflection on our relationship with technology. It invites viewers to question how much of life is spent within these mediated spaces and what it means to seek authenticity in a world increasingly filtered through screens."
