Chaos Theory

“Chaos Theory” is a one-of-a-kind artwork that features a variety of objects scattered across the page. It is inspired by the mathematical and scientific concept of chaos, which is related to complex systems and unpredictable outcomes that are influenced by “sensitive dependence on initial conditions”.

The artist wanted to explore the idea of order and disorder, and how they can coexist in a beautiful and meaningful way.

Intentionally cluttered, contradictory and complex—my compositions capture the chaos of the modern world, through deconstruction and rearrangement of the internal and external and the animate and inanimate.

In one way, I’m forcing nature and technology close together again, to prompt viewers to think about the disconnection we have from the things we consume. Yet my art features familiar items that have permeated our lives, asking viewers to consider the role of each.

My earlier work focused on deconstructing human forms to explore my internal conflict, but has since evolved beyond my personal story to include the exterior realm.

Now it is intentionally symbolic, encouraging viewers to explore their own interpretation within each piece. I believe illustration is a unique visual language that can help us articulate and explore complex issues. It gives me a way to connect to and inspire others with vibrancy and creativity.

There are shapes and lines in various colors. The colors are mostly warm, with some cool tones in the background. The lines are mostly black and are used to create the shapes and forms. The overall mood of the artwork is playful and dynamic. The artwork is done in a modernist style.

This artwork features an integrated circuit computer chip, a cadmium red heart, a pair of lungs, a pair of kidneys, a mouth, a brain, a tap, a few muscles, a large intestine, gum trees (snow gums), tentacles that morph into flames, eyes, a neuron, a nose or two, two ears, a security camera, a crab and a garpike.
