Fractured Stillness

Mixed media artwork of a woman's face with closed eyes, created with painted wood planks and circular discs, with electronic circuit patterns and CDs at the bottom.
A mirror art piece depicting a woman in a yoga pose sits on a gray carpeted surface. The artwork uses mirror pieces reflecting various objects, circuit boards, and textures to form the woman's figure against a dark wall background.
Mixed media art piece featuring a female face with closed eyes, a red dot on the forehead, and layered artistic elements resembling circuit boards and planetary images forming the body.

Fractured Stillness, part of my Beyond Humanity series, resulted from a collaboration with Hal Yaskulka, a classically trained painter.  The sculpture depicts a woman in deep meditation, her hands in the Gyan Mudra pose and her legs in the lotus position, representations of wisdom and spiritual concentration.

Her fractured face, however, creates a powerful tension with the implicit calm of her body's pose. This contrast explores the intersection of the spiritual and the digital, asking how we find peace and stillness in a world of constant information overload.

The figure's fragmented head is a poignant metaphor for our modern condition, where our minds are constantly pulled in different directions by the very technology we create.
