Streams of Consciousness

"Streams of Consciousness" visually encapsulates the relentless push and pull between the allure of digital overstimulation and the human spirit's desire for vitality and connection. This vibrant, flowing artwork portrays tiny figures adrift within colorful currents, representing streams of data, social media, and information overload. The red, leaf-like forms symbolize dopamine—both a source of pleasure and a compulsion—as individuals navigate a complex sea of stimuli, attempting to reclaim their mental clarity and freedom. The figures appear isolated, trapped within bubbles that suggest the isolating impact of excessive screen time, much like children absorbed in their devices, detached from each other. Some figures seem to drift effortlessly, while others struggle, mirroring our varying levels of agency in combating digital saturation and reclaiming a more grounded, intentional consciousness.
