Digital Dissonance
Original acrylic painting on stretched canvas
20” x 20” x 1/2” (Frame not included)
Digital Dissonance explores the tension between identity and fragmentation, as the figure is pulled apart and distorted through vibrant, glitch-like disruptions. This piece captures the essence of disconnection and internal conflict, with intense colors and layered bands of interruption that stretch and scatter the subject’s emotions across the canvas.
The figure’s expression is both introspective and detached, offering a glimpse into the struggle of maintaining a sense of self amid the “digital noise.” The vibrant colors serve as a stark contrast to the fragmented composition, highlighting the beauty within dissonance. The title, Digital Dissonance, encapsulates this theme, inviting viewers to confront the impacts of a glitching world on our inner landscapes.
This painting is a bold representation of modern identity, symbolizing how technology and constant stimulation can both connect and divide us. Digital Dissonance challenges viewers to reflect on their own experiences with fragmentation and to find meaning in the spaces between the lines.
