The companion to Linked, this portrait depicts a woman disturbed by the Neuralink chip embedded in her head, its red dot glowing like a laser that heralds the death of natural humanity. Her body partially morphs into a geometric, digitally inspired system, with angular patterns overtaking her organic form. Hand-painted textures mimicking digital forms add a tactile tension, while the work probes Jungian themes of the shadow self, reflecting humanity’s fraught relationship with technology and the erosion of individuality.
