WHERE DID THE LAST HOUR GO

WHERE DID THE LAST HOUR GO? features oversized facial and bodily elements, mirroring the zombie-like trance we fall into during our digital immersions. The exaggerated expressions act as visual metaphors, emphasising the desensitising effect of our digital consumption and highlighting the psychological toll of our constant engagement with algorithm-driven content. This series urges viewers to contemplate the deep and often unnoticed impacts of our digital interactions, drawing a parallel to how 19th-century Realism challenged its audience to confront the realities of their era.
