Dimension/Medium: 2400 x 3000 px, 300 dpi, jpeg Originally a self-portrait, the purpose of this piece is to challenge our concept of beauty in relation to technology. The image was created to spark discussion surrounding the question: are we living in a paradoxical, purgatory state of controlling the system or is the system controlling us? And, are we currently evolving into a cyborg species that is reliant on technology for survival? File Name: “The End of the Beginning of the End”
