This artwork expresses humanity in today's society.

Human beings are using the Internet to share their experiences and knowledge to develop civilization. By accumulating and analyzing human thought and behavior patterns, we are constructing a database and developing AI and predictive power. Our sustenance is the behavioral data obtained from human life. We assume that the Internet is now positioned as a more familiar and reliable alternative to God. The definition of "religious gods" has a history of being convenient for mankind, and has flourished as a stronghold, moral sharing, hope, and living scripture. However, I believe that the Internet, with its convenience and availability, is a new form of deification that is manifesting itself in a way that is more convenient for modern humanity.

Expression

The tree is depicted with branches and roots growing and spreading. The ripples leading to the tips of the roots represent humanity, and the roots absorb experiences, thoughts, knowledge and actions from humanity. The ripples are expressed with shells and metal foil. The shells are made of organic and inorganic compounds. And the metals that support the development of civilization. The seashells and metal foil used in the paintings overlay meanings of the close relationship between humanity and machines in an evolving civilization. The spreading branches represent the Internet world that grows and feeds on the accumulated data of human activity. The stagnant branches and withering patterns in the space represent the way in which the branches are eliminated from the flow of growth and decay, and the way in which they are returned to nutrients as the foundation of development. The large ripples spreading out from the trunk depict such growth of the world's creation (God's creation).
