Dear Future Hope

Thinking about what is going to happen to this world, to humankind, scares and excites me at the same time.


We are in between the geological disaster, where nature is slowly but evidently giving up. As for my very personal concerns about
the depleting ecosystem, I look forward to what is coming next,
but at the same time, I am concerned about how we can fit what nature has to give us in the world of holograms and algorithms.

The virtual space looks convenient but can it really replace the
art of living and can it really remove the uncertainty of life?
I look forward to these answers.

My interpretation of Dear Future
The world we are a part of is incessant, unpredictable and continuously advancing toward its technological glory. With the advent of all things virtual, there now prominently exists a world where networking is beyond just meeting physically, and connecting holds a meaning far from just conversing. Where the impact of Virtual connections is ever increasing, its vicious impact on the environment and its role in climate change are now coming to light. Keeping that in mind, with my illustration I am trying to depict the rather fundamental behavior of us humans to enjoy the little joys nature provides, simultaneously hoping that our future generations understand the significance of restoring and maintaining this balance between the expanding Virtual and the vulnerable real world. It is my vision of the “dear future”, no matter how much we rely on this human-made world, I hope we and especially our children, find a way to identify with the pleasure these simple things offer and attentively work towards a healthier future.
