Collage Series

  • (De)Constructed Mind I

    The central figure in this abstract collage resembles a mechanical eye, in this context, the mind’s eye. Different mechanical parts like a 3D Laser Printer and an engine are cut from science magazines and stuck down on paper. The geometric shapes and lines on the background represent the idea of construction. as well as Hand-drawn nails and screw pieces come out from the central eye. The construction is disordered, random, and chaotic. Watercolor brushstrokes in different shades of gray make the collage more chaotic, contrasting with construction lines.

  • (De)Constructed Mind II

    This college represents the disorder in the constructed space or the mind. An upside-down bicycle, a lightbulb, screw pieces, a wrench, and scissors, which are mechanical tools likely to be found in a random machine shop, add to the concept. A tire embedded in a camera lens, a UFO placed on a bulb are out of place but create a contrast.

  • Food Commercialization

    This collage illustrates that food crops are heavily commercialized in today’s world. A robot’s wheels resemble sliced lemons while green tomatoes resemble gears, a satellite resembles an avocado and a quantum web resembles a pasta. People can utilize their brains that are in the shape of walnuts, to make smart and healthy choices.

  • Natural vs. Artificial

    In this collage, I juxtaposed robotic pieces, like bionic arms and hands, robotic woman face, with primitive, natural figures, like a tree log, and a heart. The size and vivid red color of the heart create a disturbing effect and remind of the real world. Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man of Math representing the ideal human body creates an irony, considering artificial bionic body pieces.

  • The Capitalist System

    This collage portrays the global capitalist system, the concept of international capitalism. The world revolves around the capitalist system, just like gears spin and trigger one another. Coins of different types of currencies, from ancient Cambodian tical to modern cryptocurrency symbols like Bitcoin are used in the collage, representing the gears of the world.
