Made You Look

n a world where technology continually reshapes our perceptions and expectations, it’s clear that the landscape of art and photography is evolving at a rapid pace. Technology has indeed transformed how we create and experience images, often enhancing them in ways that make even the most breathtaking scenes seem "better" or more appealing.

Yet, as an artist grappling with these changes, I find myself questioning the value and authenticity of my own work. The hours I invest in capturing the essence of a seemingly mundane building or a dry, unremarkable landscape can feel diminished when compared to the effortless charm of smartphone snapshots. In a digital age where images are designed for quick consumption and easy sharing, how does one’s work stand out? Does embracing these new tools make me any less of an artist?

The truth is, art is as much about the process and the perspective as it is about the final product. My pieces reflect a personal struggle—a journey through the intersection of traditional and digital mediums, seeking to reclaim the uniqueness of the artist’s vision in an oversaturated visual world. They challenge the notion that value is solely defined by immediate appeal or technological enhancements. Instead, they invite a deeper contemplation of what it means to create and appreciate art in an era where everyone is a photographer, but not everyone is an artist.
