Genesis - The New Dawn is a visionary art series that casts a gaze into a speculative future, where Earth's once lush landscapes have been reshaped into arid echoes of their former selves. Each piece in this six-part narrative showcases humanity's adaptability and the transformative design of living in a post-aquatic world, narrating a tale of resilience and innovation in the face of ecological metamorphosis.
01 Genesis - The New Dawn is the inception of this journey, capturing the moment humanity confronts a world reborn from alien transformation. It’s a vista of vast canyons and desolate terrains, reborn through the arrival of otherworldly life, symbolizing the convergence of the familiar with the foreign, and the birth of resilience in the aftermath of change.
02 Entrance - Where the Journey Begins depicts the adventurers' tenacious quest to find vestiges of water, invoking the spirit of innovation as they traverse the barren earth, a testament to the undying hope and creativity essential for survival.
03 "Reaching" casts light upon their passage through a derelict underground tunnel, where technology and determination pierce the darkness, exemplifying human ingenuity in reclaiming and repurposing the forgotten spaces of our planet.
04 "Collapsing" visualizes a moment of crisis with the astronauts amid a crumbling infrastructure, where the imminent peril is met with the emergence of a serene hallucination, a design of the mind that transcends the stark reality.
05 "Hallucinating" delves deeper into the psyche of an astronaut confronted with the illusion of an endless ocean, juxtaposing the desolate external world with a vivid inner landscape of hope and remembrance.
06 "Drowning" concludes the series with an astronaut caught in the grip of a sea that once was, a space where memories flood back in a surreal blend of what is real and what is longed for.
Each piece represents the infinite potential of futuristic design to reshape our understanding of possibility. It is a homage to the human condition, our enduring quest for existence, and the innovative spirit that drives us to reimagine our reality and forge new pathways on Earth's canvas.
