Whispers in the Cloud
“The whispers we do not hear are the most revealing.”
In the digital age, the cloud is not merely a storage space—it is an intangible realm where our identities are fragmented, collected, and exploited. Whispers in the Cloud reflects on the silent extraction of personal information by algorithms and social media platforms, a process as imperceptible as it is relentless.
The painting’s composition embodies this duality between the visible and the concealed. The flowing, luminous blues evoke an illusion of openness and limitless possibility, yet emerging from the shadows, elongated and spectral forms disrupt this serenity. These spectral shapes, almost like tusks piercing through the void, serve as metaphors for the unseen forces that harvest, manipulate, and reshape our digital selves.
We live under the illusion of free access and self-expression, yet our online presence is a collection of whispers—signals gathered, processed, and repurposed beyond our control. This work does not merely critique surveillance capitalism; it invites the viewer to reconsider their relationship with technology, privacy, and agency.
How much of ourselves remains truly ours in this boundless horizon?
